Taz Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) So I want to put a center channel with 1 or 2 La Scala's in front of an old TV (Non Flat Screen). Will TV or Speakers cause ill effect on the other. Edited September 3, 2014 by Taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I would be cautious about putting a LARGE non-shielded speaker in front of an old CRT TV. The powerful magnet can cause the TV screen to magnetize. You can see all the colors in the edge close to the speaker start to discolor. My CF-4's (2 12" woofs) did that to my 36" CRT TV when I put the speakers too close to the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few speakers I can use if I have to, Allison's that I have enjoyed. Just got rid of one center channel speaker the other day....NUTS Edited September 3, 2014 by Taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Come on Taz, it's the 21 century, fetch a nice 60" LED on payments, you will not be sorry, hell it will pay for itself in power savings P.S. donate it as working and get a $600 tax write off!

My CF-4's (2 12" woofs) did that to my 36" CRT TV when I put the speakers too close to the TV. How close is too close. I don't think I'd kill the old TV on purpose. But not a lot of open area on the front wall with 'Stereo rack, Entertainment center with TV in it, and another stereo rack that is part of the entertainment center. Khorns for L & R fronts. Want to use a couple, but will settle for one LaScala as the center if I must Is there a way to shield the speakers? Bucking magnets. I looked up Bucking Magnets. I guess you were not pulling my leg. No ideal how to arrange the magnets to be effective though . Could Probably off set it away from the TV. TV is on the long wall and has to be.

CECAA850 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 If the magnets are screwing with the picture, you're too close. Back the speaker away far enough until the picture looks normal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 If the magnets are screwing with the picture, you're too close. Back the speaker away far enough until the picture looks normal. I wonder if it will make a difference if I was to disconnect the bass on the La Scala's by the TV. How bad it might hurt the sound of the middle channel? Leave the Bass hooked up on the KHorns and Rear La Scala's. I'm not wanting to do a home theater, just try out the surround sound with All horns . No real room in the house I'm willing to try to convert to theater room. Well haven't been able to go to sleep, it's light outside, so I think I go back to bed and try again before I have to get up in a couple hour.

It won't do anything if you just disconnect the wiring to the bass bin (if that's what you're referring to). The magnets proximity to the TV hasn't changed.

Thaddeus Smith Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) just buy a degaussing wand and use it whenever you start to see distortion in the TV. easy peasy. edit: i've actually got one somewhere that I bought to use with my arcade cabinet before I decided to just convert it over to LCD. Let me know if you want me to dig it out and send your way. Edited September 17, 2014 by Thaddeus Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
