    Distance between speakers and amp

    We have just moved house - I have my Rotel RA-03 and B&W 603s in my room - but due to space considerations cannot put them the usual way - one on each side with amp in middle.
    The Rotel amp and cd player (and Magnum Dynalab tuner) are in a closed wooden cabinet I made especially for them (doors in front but completely open back for wiring and air to get in).
    The problem is that the cabinet is very close to the one speaker (diagonally in front). If I took a ruler and measured from the closest corner of the speaker to the closest corner of the amp, say, we are talking of about 25cm.

    Is that a problem? (I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that there could be "magnetic interference" whatever that is supposed to mean - I am non-technical so I have no idea how significant that is).

    In the cabinet itself I have amp on top of CD player and then on a separate shelf above that, with a fair space between, the MD tuner. The wood is 22mm thick (plywood) - so the cabinet and configuration there is fine. Does the fact that there wood in between make it better?

    Can someone advise please?

    Nothing should be effected by the magnetic waves coming off the speaker... Maybe if you had a tape player or CRT close then you'd have to worry...but not with just the Rotel & Magnum.
    Digital Audio makes me Happy.

        Magnum PI
        by Lex
        I picked up the Magnum PI Season 1 DVD last weekend. It was a fun retrospective. I know, some of the acting is bad by supporting actors, but I enjoyed the bantor between Magnum and Higgins, and the Hawaii scenery along with a sprinkling of T and A makes it not a bad ride. Oh,did I mention the Ferrari?...

        Planar Magnetic Transducers

        A planar magnetic transducer, also known as a planar driver, is a type of loudspeaker driver that uses a thin and lightweight diaphragm with an embedded conductive coil to produce sound. It operates based on the principles of magnetic induction. A planar driver consists of the below:
        • Diaphragm: The diaphragm of a planar magnetic driver is a thin, flat, and often rectangular or circular membrane made from a lightweight material such as mylar or a thin metal

        Exploring Common DIY Terminology - Magnetic Shielding
        by technodanvan
        Magnetic Shielding

        Magnetic shielding is a technique used in loudspeaker design to prevent the magnetic field generated by the driver's magnet from interfering with nearby electronic devices, particularly CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) displays. When a loudspeaker's magnet is positioned close to a CRT screen, it can distort the image by deflecting the electron beams in the CRT, causing color shifts and geometric distortions. The concept of magnetic shielding was developed to address this issue...

        Pre-amp Modification Review
        by wkhanna
        The following is a rather winded review of the effects resulting from the modifications that were recently finished on my nearly 30 year old Carver C-19 tube hybrid pre-amp with a built-in phono pre-amp.

        Tom is the owner of the shop and creator of the modification specifications. He is...

        603 series and magnetic field
        by Ut Pictura
        Hello, everyone. Please can someone advise me. I have 603s floorstanders (absolutely LOVE them). My room is a bit cramped and have no option but to put them on each of the sides of my study desk. I want to put my iMac on my desk but am scared that they will either damage speakers or visa versa may be...
