Tosh 65H80 shielding for low center speaker

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hi all - for various reasons I roll this RPTV into the HT zone and then to Kitchen view zone - back and forth.
I have matching speakers (that I like) sitting on the floor, in a proper array, angled upwards (we also sit fairly low). Thus the RPTV 'nests' into an arc and the center ends up directly below the 'Toshiba' mark on the plastic panel. And skews the beams!
High behind the plastic panel is some metal for physical or high voltage protection - I don't know. But there is a lower gap for access to guns, connectors, and the ring magnets, etc. My speaker's magnetism seems to sneak in through that gap to the ring area and helps them with their job.
I want to shield the plastic cover by lining it with plain old metal. I think this would create a boundary for the speaker's magnetism, but wonder if there is any good reason Tosh deliberately didn't put metal here - could the metal 'couple' magnetism gun to gun, arc risk, etc even without possibly improving the speaker effect?
While I appreciate any comments (really) I am very close to this being my last possible solution. Room shape determines speaker array, WAF determines no 'arms' or shelves from RPTV, and wiring connects/disconnects determines lower rather than upper position for center. The nesting position works for both of us and is repeatable. ( A position change involves only watching the power and cable [both in rear] as I push to new place and un-muting the cable box.) I am avoiding speaker work so as to leave them interchangeable - I wouldn't have to think about it.

THX for any help!

This is a known effect that is eliminated with a magnetically shielded center speaker. Don't shield the TV, buy a shielded speaker.
