A few of the late 50s and early 60s Zenith consoles had decent sound, and even bass & treble controls on a few of the very high-end B&W consoles.

Best TV sound IMHO, is the early-mid '80s Sony consoles (KV-2675, etc). Those had great sealed speaker boxes, and well-engineered sound.

Too bad they didn't put that fine engineering into the CRT's used in those sets.
