It does, doesn't it. Have you downloaded the repair manual for the

There's a very good model specific video on YouTube. Pretty total
strip down involved.
I'm shopping around for speakers right now. Most of them seem to be

That sounds like the sensible approach. Trouble is, I'm a long way
from home right now and I'm quite dependent. A (quick?) strip down
and speaker replacement seems not too far out of range ATM but the
prospect of a duplicate procedure if the solution isn't as simple as
freeing up the existing speakers would be a bit disturbing.

Not as far as I know but I'll check as best I can.
The tinny, echoey sound generally, with the bass sounding like quick
fire burping through a digital washboard might be indicative of rogue
3D.

Yeah, that was my thought - if the sound device is sending eg 7.1
encoded in some analogue way it'll sound pretty atrocious in stereo.
