@dawg007 "I'm not looking for hearing aids..."
I do understand that was not the question in your post. That said, if your wife is hard of hearing, why not? She might be forever grateful, given a good set, beyond the TV watching...
But, that's up to you and her.
And I do understand your quest... because before I got my aids, I was on the hunt for just such a speaker; now, though, I don't need it.
