Depends what you mean by really good. AM radio was quite capable of decent
results - up to about 10kHz or so. Depending also on the land lines to the
transmitter and the bandwidth of the receiver. It was overcrowding of MW
which caused the bandwidth to be restricted.

Basically, some pre-WW2 equipment was really quite good - long before
Hi-Fi became a term. Certainly as good as plenty we are used to today.
