A:Answer I purchased a BOSE Solo 15 system a couple of weeks after I purchased this TV and currently use it with this TV. The TV has an optical output (digital) and a 1/8" jack output (analog). Either will connect to the BOSE unit and work very nicely. The speakers that come with the TV are fine, but as with just about every TV, the speakers aren't amazing. The BOSE system will certainly put out much better sound than the TV speakers. I almost always watch TV using just the TV speakers and I am completely happy with the sound they provide.
