I'm basically quite happy with the sound from my CRT set but the output

people say in American movies than music reproduction, "The Wire" being
a prime example.
Am I right in thinking that a pair of amplified speakers could be set to
a mid range volume and the tv remote used to make fine adjustment? That
way I wouldn't need the extra remote.


They could but are likely poor value compared to passive types.

I'm still not clear whether the audio out would drive, say, a pair of 10
watt passive speakers and, if so, would they be any improvement over the
2 x 10w built in speakers.

10 watts will drive most speakers to a more than adequate level for
ordinary TV listening. And pretty well any half decent speakers at say
80-100 quid will knock spots off the internal ones.
