Hi Folks, My wife liked the 2 Pi's I built, and now I'm considering building
another set (plus a center channel something or other) to make up
a home theater set for the bedroom. The place for the TV is a 6 foot
wide shelf that divides two rooms. My question is how far from the
TV do 2 Pi's need to be to not whack it? I'd hate to wreck a perfectly
good TV with nice speakers. Thx, Chris

and see if it has an "auto de-gauss" circuit. I had some drivers near the TV for a long while, no problem. Then when I moved them AWAY from the set, big, ugly, SCARY green blotches showed up on each side of the picture! Argg. Fortunately UNPLUGGING the set a few times cleared the problem on it's own.
I suggest "experimenting" when the wife is gone, and have a "back-up plan" if something goes ary, like innocently reminding her, "Well, it WAS out of warranty", maybe we need a new one, and can get this "old, cheap, etc." one repaired for the garage or something, since you hate to throw it out. ADMIT NOTHING!
.
I've had 20 oz. magnets about 15 inches from another TV with no ill effects, but better to be safe and keep them as far as practical away from the set, hey, you need SOME separation between the front speakers anyway...it seems you need a HUGE TV to worry about speakers 6 to 8 feet apart being "close to the screen".
Wishing my TV screen was close to MY speakers, which are about 8 feet apart...a 60" wide screen would be sweet:) Sam

To Sam and Wayne, I can try putting the sets I have together. Even if it does
whack this TV, I wouldn't be too unhappy. As for how big a TV
and speakers would fit in 6', the shelf is about 5' off the floor,
so this 6' has to fit two speakers (32"), TV (30"), and the tuner,
dvd, etc (18"). Hmmm. That's 6.5'. I also need to fit the
center channel under/over the TV, so I can't easily put the tuner
and friends in the same place. This is going to be tight. I'll
keep ya'll posted. Thx, Chris
