Signature... just for Alarm!

Thanks Chris, thanks Alarm, thanks Dogfonos.
I am now 'weighing up' my options.

I think your going over the top with any auto system. We bought an auto unit to go with our TV in the living room and we find although the volume is no higher the sound caries more so at night we only use TV's own speakers.

So you need some small cheap speakers otherwise the sound will travel and that's what you want to stop.

There are many cheap speakers designed to plug into personal music players I have a set same size as a cassette which I use think they came from poundland.

My TV is 10W output and clearly if I was to use the cheap speakers and turn up the volume they would burn out. Likely you will need an extension cable for them.

These from Curry's will likely be ample. Buying expensive ones will likely make it worse not better as far as sound travelling.

Thanks guys,

But I am not sure if I made myself clear earlier on...

I am attempting to get the some speakers very close by, then I only need a low volume setting. (See my original post)

Wireless headphones.

Now you have every option.

Thanks Alarm... you are making me feel like I am getting a bit too fussy!

The two of us (me and better half) sat up in bed with headphones on seems a bit odd? How do we use the 'sleep' function without ending up very uncomfortable? LOL

Perhaps the easy solution is to dismantle the TV, check the speaker impedance, disconnect and replace with wires going to external speakers in bridge above bed instead?

Are these likely to be an odd or standard resistance?
