Anyone got any opinions about the sound quality of built in speakers on

With TVs there is typically a headphone socket that mutes the interna;
speakers. i run a cable from that into the HiFi amplifier. the TV
remote continues to control the volume.

My hi fi is some distance away, so that wouldn't work for me, but I
wonder if the headphone output is the same volume as the audio out. If
so, I could just use multi media speakers and leave the things switched
on. Remote controlled amplified speakers don't seem to be generally
available, and it looks like it's cheaper to buy a mini hi fi system.

I can't believe there aren't tvs where the audio out is capable of
driving a pair of modest speakers. Would seem like the obvious solution
to the tinny audio problem
