    I am not really hot in electronics (my training was in tubes and
early transistors and not a whole lot of that). What I need is a good
way to get better sound from a cheap color TV. There are no convenient
audio outputs on the outside of the case. I was thinking of tapping
across the terminals of the (tiny) speaker and connecting this to the
auxiliary input of my stereo. Will this work?

   An alternative would be to just add a better speaker across the existing
one. If this is possible, should I disconnect the old speaker or just
parallel them together. Also what should I watch for in the way of 
impedances?

   I would hate to blow the output stage of the audio amp so if anyone
can help I would be very grateful.

                               Thanks
