Had the same problem finding speakers for an MX5500. Ended up with some 3" shielded speakers from Maplins. Had to cut them right down to the cones. Then cut away the inside of the TV where they go. Looks a bit Heath Robinson with the fret off. Once it's covered up though they sounded very good. Got another one to do this week some time. Craig
