tv SOUND

I had one decent TV for sound, and that was a Sony KVS2942U - a big lumbering 29" CRT that weighed 50+ kg. It had a decent 7 speaker system built in, NICAM tuner and a respectable amp. It was good enough that I would only bother turning on the surround sound for watching movies. Most "normal" watching was ok with the default sound.

Yup, do that on one of mine.

Way to go! I've listened to TV sound through Hi fi since the 80s. Many different set-ups in that time, of course.

I'm now using TV optical out to amplifier optical in, and I strongly suspect that will see me out!

Yes, this last is what I do, optical to optical. Very simple, no hum loops, etc.

But they also use a lot more power compared to TV's made in the last few years. If you spend a lot of time watching telly then it soon adds up.
