The 50's GE's seem to have the best sound as far as regular console models...much better treble response than most tube sets. Although, even this model with 2 big speakers probably uses a single 6AQ5 audio output tube, so there's not a lot of "oomph" for undistorted audio at high volume levels.
It's really rare to see any tube type TV with higher-powered audio...the most power is usually from Zeniths using 6BQ5. I have one Magnavox set that has a 12" speaker and push pull 6V6's but haven't seen any others.

those G.E. sets used a 6CU5 or 6CA5 audio output tube.

i once owned a zenith combo TV / Hi Fi that used four 6V6's on it's amp & both the tv & stereo used the amp.

my setchel-carlson roundie uses a pair of 6GK6 audio output tubes. the 6GK6 ratings was equivelent to 6BQ5
