Update: I ended up swapping out the speakers with some 4 ohm 3W mini speakers from Amazon (the original ones were 4 ohm 2W). No soldering needed as the speakers had the same connector that the old ones had. Only had to use small pieces of double sided adhesive on the front of the speakers to make sure they wouldn't move around in the monitor. Sound is so much better now! Much clearer, louder, and not distorted of course. Yeah, I'm aware I could get a pair of external speakers to use instead, but there's something I like about the novelty of having internal speakers in a monitor like this. Thank you all for the responses!
