Sound quality of old TV's.

[Eric H]

The 2005ish Sony WEGA LCD rear projector I have has a really good sound system.

Lots of empty space inside the cabinet so they even stuffed in a Subwoofer, the Amp is 25 wpc as I remember, you can easily do without any other surround system with this set.

The Plasma OTOH has really lousy sound and the cabinet rattles at higher volume, there's not much room for decent speakers inside so this isn't unexpected.
I don't use the built in sound at all anymore, it all goes through an external system.
