Improving TV's sound

[anotheoldgit]

Can one add separate speakers to a TV whose built in speakers are not up to par?

If one can, what type of speakers should one add, and where should they be connected to?

Does the TV come with sockets for external speakers / sound system ?

You can plug an extension speaker into headphone socket, but you may need to control with TV volume control. Usually wire up a Stereo pair to a stereo minijack ... 2.5mm or 3.5mm, or if it's older TV a mono jack. Split jack to two speakers connected in parallel.
Should work ok.
Use some 2 way car speakers or small 2 way hi fi speakers.

As Above ^, but if a headphone socket is the only option then any computer speakers would also be a good choice.

If you have a fairly new flat screen TV there may be other options though, so, posting the make and model number would help to figure out the options available.
