Unshielded Speakers,How Far?

Do they have to be very close to the tv? If you spread them wide enough to where they sound good you shouldnt have a problem.

yep, Aball, the best way to know is just to see. when unshielded speakers are too close to the TV screen you will see distortions immediately.

For the record, you should keep em at least 2ft from a CRT. More precisely however, you should place the speakers WHERE THEY SOUND BEST!!!! In case you didn't know, as most people just STICK SPEAKERS where they THINK they should go, you should find out where the speakers sound the best and put them there!(in perspective with the set up and seating possitions of course).
Good luck

Hello - you will see it quickly if they are too close ;). I have found that fields die off rapidly with distance and so a couple feet will do.
