TV advice needed

The problem we have found  with poor sound is that the majority of speakers are at the back of the tv , so most of the sound seems to be going to the rear,

We have now got a Linsar  tv from John Lewis, with the speakers mounted as part of the stand   facing forward , which we have on a swivel bracket in the caravan

What about getting a set of speakers that could plug into the headphone socket of the TV. I had small one that run of batteries connected to my computer in the old days and the sound was excellent and a lot cheaper than a new TV.

We have an Avtex TV and don't have any problem with the sound. Obviously I can't judge it against other makes of LV type TV's as I have no experience.

Same here, David --  everybodies "ears" are different so we have to judge our own likes / dislikes.

I would imagine that if you felt the need to buy a sound bar, no tv alone will measure up sound wise. I’m not familiar with supplemental speaker systems, but it’s those I’d be looking at.

Thank you for your comments (especially DavidK). The reason I'm asking is that we are changing our 'van and don't have room for the sound bar we currently use (and need to use as the sound on our present cheap TV is awful). So we are thinking about getting a better quality TV which would probably have superior sound - hence we are looking at Avtex models. We are only interested in comments from those of you who have experience of an Avtex TV in your 'van. Sorry but just wanted to make that clear.

Mine is OK Nev, in fact its sitting about 5 foot from me right now in my 'study'. Its always either here or moved into the 'van if I'm off gallivanting round the Club sites. The only complaint is that its never told me Ive won the lottery, so, if I could afford a replacement then ,,,,,,,,

We had the same problem with a cheap tv so we bought our Avetx about 3 years ago which has a much better audio amp

I think if you have used a sound bar or extension speakers you will never be satisfied with sound from just the TV.  I have an Avtex and still use a sound bar especially for playing music.

We did the same. Even though our Avtex is smaller than the previous TV the sound quality is better.
