Are speakers adequate by themselves for a TV i.e., no other speakers? Would dialogue be clear? I just want a major improvement over TV speakers.

They are more than better then TV speakers. The sound competes with 2000.00 dollar speakers. To set the record ...The cost of advertising in audiophile magazines are a major factor for increasing the cost of buying top audio speakers. Sony doesn't advertise audio speakers for stereos. These Sony's look and sound like they cost a lot. You won't be sorry.

These speakers are probably all you will need, they increase the clarity across the full audio spectrum. When I was building out my 5.1 home stereo system I started with just these speakers for the first 4 months, and it was great. I added rear, center, and bass b/c I wanted to go the full 9 yards, but in conclusion: just having these speakers will revolutionize your tv experience.

Sorry for the late response, and you've already seen other replies to your question. These speakers are a great improvement over the TV speakers and the price is hard to beat. I use mine as part of a surround system with a center channel and two rear speakers, which really fills the room. Try then alone to start, and add to your system for the true surround experience if you so desire.

these would be a major improvement. I don't use a center channel and they sound crystal clear. buy them! you won't regret this purchase.

Mr Guy,These are awesome for hometheater and if you live in a single family house I would recommend them otherwise I would say they are overkill.

Not exactly... I wouldnt recommend them for listening to quality music or TV listening for that matter. They lack crispness and the highs dont sound good at all. As a pair of speakers for TV and music I think the best ones for the price that you cant go wrong with are the Bose 201s and if you want an improvement the 301s which get just as loud as these but with better bass and treble...

Speakers are decent and better than some TV's or other monitors that I've heard. I think they're just fine for basic use and good enough to replace a cheap 2.0 speaker set if you're trying to reclaim desk space. But, in comparison to the Logitech S120 speakers (a cheap 2.0 speaker set), the S120s do sound a bit better and seem to have more depth. So, it really depends on how much you use the speakers for. If you watch a lot of videos and listen to a lot of music using your computer, I would suspect you would still want something in addition to what the monitor has built-in.

My tv has plenty of volume. I adjusted the treble down to minimum and the base up to maximum which reduced the "tinneyness" sound of small speakers considerably. I am satisfied with the sound quality, so I hav'nt looked into any upgrades.

Right now I'm trying to decide to get Denon AVR 891 or 2311ci Vs. Onkyo ??I have a large opened livingroom and dinning Room and what great sound.I am looking at the Mirage MX5.1 home set speakers??? Do I need a sound speakerin front of the TV. I was looking at 55" samsung 7000& 8000Vs Sony????Please if anybody can get me some feedback would be appreciated much.

Don't expect miracles, but I think it does improve the sound of movies, and my wife agrees. How much of an improvement depends on the quality of your existing TV speakers. I was impressed with the quality of YouTube music videos that we played as well. It's a waste of time watching movies that you can't properly hear, so I figured it was worth buying a high rated sound bar. It's a personal decision in the end.

There are no external speakers included with the TV; just the normal internal speakers. We did purchase a sound bar to increase the audio experience. The TV itself is great!

The speaker is fine..not great but I have a surround sound speaker system with my computer so the monitor speakers are not a factor for me. Many internal speakers on monitors are similar.

Not bad for the price, but there are much better options available. These will most likely be comparable to the current sound output. I would strongly recommend something with larger speakers and more power as well. A subwoofer is also nice to have. I would highly recommend an inexpensive or used hi-fi system over computer speakers for a TV. Even something like this would be better: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002HWRZ2K

No, the speakers the come in the TV are acceptable for stock speakers nowadays. Still, you should probably invest in exterior speakers at some point.

As stated by the other responses, the sound is typical of TV's with built in speakers. No problems with the sound, but if you want surround or theater quality you'll have to add something for that. Ours is not used as our primary TV, so the speakers and sound are perfectly good.

I do... But, I am not a tech freak regarding the home theatre. It's sounds great when we watch movies or games. Nobody has ever told me I suck for not having a true middle speaker. :)Typically folks are shocked how well the while system sounds.

Debby, Yes, there are on-board speakers. If you have a loud environment or want extra volume, you may want to consider a Home Theater system or an audio bar to supplement the volume. Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions. --Mr. S

Have their own speakers. I returned them because they worked only a very short distance.

Any speakers that use RCA, digital optical, or 1/8 inch speaker cables. The TV has pretty good sound quality on its own, but for the best sound quality you would need a receiver in which you would hook your speaker system up to.

I don't know the answer. I'm just a tv watcher. There are no external speakers.

Actually, just buying a decent pair of headphones would be a better solution. TV ears are meant for helping the hard-of-hearing when others are also watching the TV. Just plug in headphones, and this should turn the speakers off, and you'll get a much better quality of sound out of the headphones than the TV ears. Also, headphones are much cheaper than TV ears.

I have the same issue. This was not made for a TV setup the way its advertised. You will need the separate receiver and speakers for optimal results.
