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.

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

Thanks alot for all your help.

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".
I have the same question that Litsa123 had last month, only modified a little.

I have an older non-shielded floor-standing single speaker that I picked up used. To me, it's a quality speaker (B+W DM640) and I wish to do an experiment and use it as a center channel, set just slightly off to the side of my TV, a new Sony Trinitron 32 Inch.

Things aren't set up yet, and I won't go with this plan if it will damage the new TV. Is there something I can wrap around the speaker that will sacrifice looks but protect my TV? The room is large and the L-R vintage speakers will be three or four feet away at least from the TV, and so I'm not going to worry about them as much (although I haven't researched how far away things have to be, according to whatever guidelines HT users have found).

There seemed to be disagreement in this thread as to whether wrapping aluminum foil or something around the speaker would help. Does anyone have any insight on that, or any other wrapping?
