When it comes to Philips TVs and sound, i think the K35 HIFI is the best of them all. It has a push-pull amplifier with probably 15-20 watts output power and the same bass reflex speaker cabinet as the K12. The sound sometimes makes me wonder why i need to have a stereo system, and the RGB inputs really makes the picture look good too.

apparently, K12 sets here in Italy came in two main variants: one had HiFi sound, infrared remote and 1980s styling like the set i'm talking about, the other has exactly the same cabinet as a top-of-the-line 1976 K11 model, with OSD display, ultrasonic remote, and a non-hifi sound system based on a 4x8" fullrange speaker (i have 2 of them)
As far as i know, your 70s style cabinet with woodgrain bezel wasn't available in Italy
I have the K35 HiFi, it's the one with oval woofers, "spatial sound", beambooster (=scan velocity modulation) in a metallic grey cabinet with a separate glass in front of the screen and the controls on top... sadly, mine has a nasty problem in the power supply.
another Philips set with great sound is the System4 (the last high-quality chassis from Philips), i have a 1985 21CT4829 (21" FSQ vision stereo/TXT) as my daily watcher and even though the 4x8" speakers have no enclosure, the bass response is simply amazing.

K12 diode-split flybacks seems to be quite reliable instead... i've worked on many K12s and none of them had a bad flyback, Philips began to make bad flybacks (as well as bad CRTs) in their late 80s and 90s sets (2B, CP110 and so on)
