- When I went to buy my centre channel speaker, I had the salesdude
- tell me about shielded speakers. (since he was trying to sell me one.)
-
- He said that if you put an ordinary speaker near the TV (which is what
- the centre channel on a Pro-Logic system is designed for) you will
- distort the picture in the short term (he demonstrated) and damage the
- television over long term. (He didn't say how long that was...)
-
- So I bought the shielded one - it currently sits on top of my monitor
- with zero side-effects (as far as I can tell.) (It would sit on top
- of my TV, but I don't have one yet.... <sigh> Student!=money.)
-
- So as to your TV? Best of luck.
