Just out interest, having noticed that the criteria was mentioned in a web site's specifications of sets, what does the number of tuned circuits tell one? For example a set's spec says it has 8 am and 13 fm tuned circuits. So does that mean that this set has a better performance than another otherwise similar set with 6 and 10 respectively? Or is it not that cut and dry, maybe depending on the actual tuned circuit design etc? What's with the amount of tuned circuits? More is better? - better sensitivity?
