    Magnetic Interference

    What would be called a safe distance between TV and speaker(non-shielded). I know that most center and front spks are magnetically shielded but the SUB isnt. So lets say for a CRT TV on a stand and if you need to keep the SUB on the floor near the TV, what would be a safe distance to place it ????.

    Ah! another question that comes to my mind is, how can the Magnetic force of the speakers damage a TV or can it also damage the other devices like the AMP or the DVD or interference in cables ????

    Well, just one story I feel compelled to tell:

    I bought a new 36" Sony Wega TV and Klipsch C-6 center channel speaker at the same time a few years ago, and set the center channel on top of the TV. Even though the speaker's shielded, it created a slight but noticeable visual distortion on the screen. After a few days, the screen actually adjusted, "healed", and it went away.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

I used to have this speaker sitting on top of my TV (Hitachi 57S500) but moved it not too long ago to a speaker stand right in...
