I would like to know about the sound and internal speakers. How does it sound without external amps, etc?

Better than some but still has the issues any rear speaker flat screen has. I solved by adding the $200 bose mini wave and plugging in to the headphone jack. Awesome tv otherwise

Only decent, only one of the options for sound is what I am used to as far as standard TV quality , the rest are tinny at best, I usually only watch regular tv programing, no Pandora, little expectations as far as games noise quality, action movies, etc and I still would rate as inferior. Every thing else on TV is exceptional, very pleased with it.

I have not used that feature, I use external speakers and amp surround sound.

For a laptop, I think it's fine. It has decent volume and the sound is clear. I wouldn't mistake it for some high quality stand alone speakers, though. Hope that helps.

You will need to run the speakers using an external amplifier. I use an AudioSource Amp 100 and it sounds good.

It has plenty of volume but the sound quality isn't great. I recommend hooking it up to a set of small speakers--I got some a few years ago at Radio Shack, but I'm sure other similar speakers are widely available. Also, get an AC adapter as it uses up 9v batteries fast...

It does come with internal speakers, which are really not nearly as bad as you might imagine. That being said, I always use external speakers because I already had them. I think you'd be surprised by the quality of the internal speakers.

These are the specs direct from their website. From my own personal experience, my laptop does just fine. I have not amped them personally, but I have read (online) that they do improve with amping. Also driving them from my iTouch is good. Just switch off the EQ and they sound great.Type: Dynamic, semi-openDriver: ¨ª50 mm, neodymiumSensitivity: 98 dB SPL (1 mW)Frequency Response: 10-30,000 HzMax.

If you're going to use it for clean sound it should be OK, of course it won't sound as good as a real amp. The distortion and drive effects on this unit are not really that good though, so they're almost useless without an amp, if you intend to use the Nova for distorted sound.

It has played everything I've put in it...commercial and copies. I does not have speakers or an amp.

Had one for over two years now and have never needed an amp, at least not for headphones. Unless you are trying to change the sound signature why waste money on an amp? That said, I read a lot about how good the Hugo sounds with it.

It's a really nice, clean-sounding amp. It works best with efficient speakers and when hooked up to a computer to take advantage of the built-in DAC (Digital to Analog converter). As others have pointed out it's a little under-powered but fine for a smaller room (e.g. bedroom). It also has a really good headphone amp.

I've only ever played it unplugged because I don't have an amp. Considering it's only a $100 dollar guitar, I think it sounds pretty decent. I also own a guitar that is in the $200-$300 dollar range, and I'd say that this one sounds better than the more expensive one.

They are awesome for gaming, been using mine for about 6 months now and loving them. As far as an amp, I've never used an external one, but I use a soundblaster ZXR and they sound phenominal.

no, it has a decent sound without the amp (not great, but certainly not bad) but an amp definitely makes it much more fun to play.

It has internal speakers so I did not bother to check will let you know what I come up with later.

Not to hear sound, but getting speakers like this is definitely best with an amplifer. I recommend 50-60Wrms to each side (with HPF around 90 hz) for optimal preformance.
