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.

Epoxy bucking magnets to the back of the magnets of your speakers. You can buy the bucking magnets from parts express
and other places.

If you have any doubts re. your tv susceptibility to magnets---Put the speaker right next to the tv. In a min. you'll know.Remove the seaker straight off. Turn the tv off. Wait a few min./turn back on; the tv will degauss itself.------Leaving a speaker there long enough creates perm. burn in--irreversible damage. This refers to all CRT sets--glass tube or rear projection crt's. A boombox or small speaker on top of a glass tube set will create the same hell.---if left there over a long period.
