Hello,
Disclaimer: I speak for myself only, and not for Tivoli Audio, nor do
I have any connection to Tivoli. I designed the Model One and the PAL
electronics. IMHO a PAL will provide good reception of all but the
weakest AM stations.
The PAL has a 2" ferrite rod antenna which limits the sensitivity to
that of radios with a comparable length antenna. On AM, size
definitely matters. Both the PAL and the Model One have pretty good
sensitivity, and have better than average selectivity and dynamic
range. The hi-fi sound is the best part, as most owners will confirm.
Mediocre AM sensitivity on the early Model Ones was substantially
improved shortly after its' introduction, unfortunately not before it
got a poor reputation.

Thanks very much for this response. I own an early Model One and a
Model Two
(stereo FM). Do they both share the same AM section? They are
equally deaf on the AM band and I have to use a RS AM loop in order to
get decent AM reception. They are both wonderful radios, but they
could use tone control(s) as the sound tends to be on the bassy side.
The Model Two could also benefit from a MONO switch.
