Help with choosing some speakers for my TV

[Garrett]

My TV's built in speakers are on their way out, but I've tried a few small portable ones via it's audio out jack & all is well.. I can't really afford a TV replacement atm & otherwise am perfectly happy with the TV.

Can you guys suggest some worth looking at.. as cheap as posible please.

LG 47LM620T

It's not under warranty/guarantee, I bought it used.

I bought a samsung sound bar. 

I got it for free with my credit card rewards program but I am fairly happy with it. It's worth around 250ish.  Also my TV is samsung so it wirelessly syncs with the TV and works with your current remote.

You would probably be after something like this since you have a lg tv.

Oh yeah if you are an audiophile do not listen to this advice.  This is great because it works with your current remote controller (Or it should if it's like samsungs wireless sync)

Depend on what you want/need. I was recently looking for small speakers that still have a good sound, and were affordable. Boston Acoustics A-25 is usually reviewed very positive http://www.whathifi.com/boston-acoustics/25/review  they are now discontinued so stores are selling their last stock and price is decreased even more. http://www.audiovisualonline.co.uk/product/4135/boston-acoustics-a25-gloss-black-bookshelf-speakers-pair-

Nice telly, I have the 670T model, same size same year

I don't have additional speakers hooked up, but those Samsung sound bars are nice, they don't take up much space and have good [enough for me anyway] sound for films and such

"As cheap as possible" means there is literally no room for reccommendations based on any other consideration. Given those parameters you can google the cheapest speakers yourself.

I do have some budget flexibility

This is what I meant by specifications being needed.

Really awful speakers (e.g. some second hand earbud (yep, singular) that originally came with a kiddie's toy) might cost 5p

Top-end ones might be more like £5000

Do you want two-channel stereo? 7.1 channel stereo? mono? built-in amplifier? external amplifier? big floor-standing jobbies? long thin sound-bar? small bookshelf style? Good bass response? especially flat frequency response? good high frequency response? wood-effect? modern-looking?

There's an enormous range of speakers available. You can even make your own if you really want to.

You can pick up used VMPS speakers at bargain prices nowadays. Highly recommended. http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=122314.220If there is interest in floorstanding tower speakers I can post a few suggestions of particular ones (or just google VMPS speaker review).

On a smaller scale, the current issue of Which? has a roundup of TV soundbars if you're more concerned about aesthetics than raw audio, and aren't into spending many hundreds of pounds on floorstanding monsters. Your local library may have a copy.
