need something to replace built in LCDTV speakers?

My new 60 inch Sony LCD TV has downward firing cheap speakers built into it - even though the TV is over 3K. Anyway, I don't want my entire surround system on all the time during the day - for regular daytime TV viewing stuff. Any solutions to bypass the built in LCD TV speakers? I was thinking of maybe inputing one of those Bose Wave radio things so that the sound comes from that. Maybe some kind of sound bar. Anyone else ever run into this kind of issue?

Hey Zydo,

How would you bypass the internal speaker amp of the TV and still use the TV's speakers? I don't see how you could even have access to that part of the TV, without voiding the TV warranty?

I tried plugging in a pair of powered studio monitors via the TV's audio out RCA's and it produced ugly continuous background hum. Loud enough to be annoying, can anyone comment on that?

Also, from all the reseach, seems like the Zvox would be the best choice, since that humm with the powered studio monitors (JBL professional grade) was scary to me. Also tried hooking it directly to the cable box - same issue.
