Why are AM/FM Tuners So Expensive?


I'm referring to NAD, Rotel, etc...

Are they really that much better than what comes in a mass-market receiver?

Thanks!

Sugarbrie,
Thanks for the website lead. The Yamaha TX2000 wasn't listed there but from what I have gathered from other sources it was one above the TX1000 or top of the line in 1989 and retailed for $750.00. It has a silver front with wood sides and the bottom has a full sheet of copper to act as shielding. It also has a swinging operation panel that pivotes to reveal several buttons and it has the Computer Servo Lock System. I thought I would share this since I found it and was the one who was asking.
