How do you shield a Center speaker?


I have a center speaker that has no shielding. Any time I get too close to my 36" Analog TV it affects the color. I have to keep it at a distance. Can anyone recommend a way to shield it so that I can move it closer?

Most manufacturers that shield their speakers use the bucking magnet approach, it's simple and effective. Any change in the Q of a driver is too small to make any difference and will not be noticed by your ears. IMO, lining the inside of a speaker cabinet with metal is bound to change the tonal characteristic of said speaker for the worse. Manufacturers strive to have inert cabinet interiors, not highly reflective surfaces.
