Is it possible to shield unshielded speakers?

Hi,

I bought a pair of paradigm Monitor 7's unshielded from a friend (at the time, this wasn't an issue).
Now,I plan to upgrade my tv to a widescreen (16x9). Since my living room is a bit small, I would like to know if it's possible to shield my present speakers or do I have to get a new shielded pair?

Thanks for all your help in this matter.

Simple fix for your situation. Buy what's commonly called "bucking magnets" and you superglue them to the back of the drivers magnet, tweeters too. You glue the "bucking magnet" on in the reverse polarity position, thereby canceling out the magnetic field.

It will probably be the Sony 42" LCD projection tv (kf-42we610).

Thanks alot for all your help.

I can't afford plasma... so I'm going with a 42" LCD.

Thanks.

Bucking magnets? That reminds me of a kid, with a speech impediment, who came to my door on halloween night. I said: "You're a little pirate aren't you"? He said: "Yeth thir" and I said: "Where are your buccaneers"? He replied: "Under my buckin' hat".
