Thanks for all the feedback on the speaker issue. I'll see what I can fit in to it.

The RF stage might be helpful to me. I listen to WBBM in Chicago at night, which is a bit far from Bath Michigan.

I often use my GE AA5 or my Silvertone 6002, which is a Noblitt-Sparks 4 tube. When reception gets bad I use my HQ-160. The Noblitt-Sparks is amazingly sensitive. It truely has one IF stage.

I'm not sure how to count them in the Sonora. There are two IF transformer but only one IF amp. I think I'd call it two IF stages. It's basically an AA6. I guess I'll see what the local station does to me when I get it working.
