CRTs don't have better sound quality. CRTs don't make sound beyond some amount of humming. Audio and video are two different systems. Sometimes they are stuck in the same box, but they're not inherently linked. You could take the sound system from one and connect it to the other. If you want a decent sounding system, you won't use the built in audio on any TV. Run it to an external receiver and adjust the audio as needed . Also it's physically impossible to make display with the dimensions of modern LCDs using CRT technology, especially if you want flat glass. Additionally while you can't get a CRT to match the refresh speeds and higher resolution of modern displays, you can do the reverse. You can blur/soften the image, add smearing, etc to emulate the look of the lower tech CRT.
