Yes, shielding is needed if the magnetic field of the speakers is near the floor and the speakers are against the TV. I have had 2 different RPTVs, and both are severely impacted by my Apogee mini-grands: colors go haywire and it looks like the magnetic field was warping the picture. Replacing the Apogees with Von Schweikert 4.5s and keeping them about a foot from the TV solved the problem There is no problem with center channel speakers on top of the TV or with speakers on stands.
Video Sheilding - required for Projection HDTV's??
Hello - Can anyone tell me if shielded speakers are necessary if they are to be placed next to a projection TV?
I realize the unshielded speakers will effect a tube TV but... not sure about a projection TV.
My Father In-Law recently purchased some speakers and is concerned because they aren't shielded & is afraid he will break the TV if he puts the speakers too close. Unfortunately his system (and living space) REQUIRES that the speakers be placed right next to the TV.
Can someone please confirm if it is okay to put the speakers next to a projection TV??
