Why does it say to use the shielded version of the rs 180's, but not shielded for the rs28A? I may need to have all drivers shielded, and I already have the shielded version of the rs28A. Will this be OK?
Quick question about NatP!

At the time the speaker was designed there were only a shielded version of the RS series woofers and the only version of the 28a was unshielded. You cannot swap out the shielded and non-shielded versions of the RS28a without changing the crossover. The specs on the two are different.- Bottom

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but unshielded tweeters are generally nowhere near as bad as unshielded woofers. I have a pair of Seas H1212 tweeters on either side of my TV, and there is no ill effect. There's essentially no space between the cabinet and the TV, and only about 5 or 6 inches from the actual tweeter to the edge of the TV. It's an old TV as well; newer and more expensive TVs might be even more resistant to magnetic fields.
I think you'll be fine building the standard version of the NatP. Unfortunately, Brian's right about the incompatibility with the crossover. If you haven't soldered to them or marked them up at all then Parts Express has a reputation of being very good about accepting returns. You'd have to pay postage, but I don't think they'll even charge a restocking fee.-Joe Carrow- Bottom

The h12112 has to be at least 9" away from my Phillips 32" flat screen to eliminate any effects.
Just a side note, I really like calling it the h1212, not the tbdhghjhjhsjsh . I hate those letter strings that are also used for the same product!Peter

There's more than one reason so many of us buy there consistently
I'm not saying anything bad against anyone else- but PE sure is nice.
Peter, I agree- I had "27TBFC/G" memorized for a while- and now that I've had a decent night of sleep I can recall it- but H1212 is so much easier to remember. On the other hand, you can look at the long part number and decode what it means- a 27 millimeter tweeter, blah blah blah.... eh, I see what you mean.-Joe Carrow- Bottom

It's a POS Emmerson with built-in VHS. I guess it was probably pretty fancy back when my girlfriend bought it so many years ago. It's really her TV, but you get the picture-
As you can see, it's not very large and I don't have any space to get something better. Maybe, just maybe, when we move to a bigger place I can make an argument that it's really a TV stand, and the speakers need their own stands.-Joe Carrow- Bottom
