Plasmas & non- shielded speakers?

Had a quick look but can’t find any thing on these forums.

Can any one tell me if it’s safe to place non-shielded speaker’s next/close to a plasma screen.

I know that this would be a very big no no if it was a CRT screen as the magnets would play havoc with it.

As far as I am aware, plasma screens are unaffected by the magnetism.

Well what you can do is, place them next to the screen and see if you get the blueness/discolouration on your TV (Best to see if this happens during dark scenes of a program).

If not, then it's not a problem placing them next to the TV.

Anyway, you only need to keep non-shielded speakers about a foot away from normal TV's so as to avoid the magnetism effect.

Whilst plasmas or LCDs aren't affected by magnetism, it would be unwise to test like that, as it could cause permanent damage to some CRTs.

Did nothing whatsoever to mine.

You move the speaker close, blueness appears, move it away, it goes.

It would be a rare case to cause damage.

Thanks for the help people.

I'm going to hook up a pair of KEF speakers to my 61" LG, come to think of it they must be all of 25 years old & still going strong.

Not ready to be pensioned of yet.
