Please check with the model to see if it is shielded or not. A shielded speaker will be fine, but an unshielded speaker needs to be around 50cm from the side of a conventional CRT television – all speakers are fine next to other displays, such as projectors, LCD and plasma televisions. These other sets are unaffected by magnetic fields.

Where you have placed an unshielded speaker next to a television, do not worry. This is not permanent and can be rectified easily by ‘de-gaussing’ the television set . Most modern sets de-gauss automatically when switch on, however older sets may require de-gaussing by a service engineer.
