I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with this one.
I just moved to an apartment with a *very* small living room and I am having trouble with the placement of my B&W 604's with respect to my 36" Wega.
The living room configuration doesn't really give me too much flexibility to move the speakers further away from the TV to prevent blue and green picture distortions from the 604's being so nearby. The area where the TV and speakers are located is pretty much the only place it will all fit in this tiny apartment.
I read some old HTF threads here as well as B&W's FAQ on speaker placement/shielding and it seems that the large Sony tubes are pretty susceptible to distortion from unshielded speakers being placed too nearby?
So it looks like they recommend a distance of 0.5 meters, but what if I physically cannot pull this off? (Besides having to move to another apartment ) Is there really nothing I can place between the speaker and the TV to shield the tube from the magnetic field without making it worse? Anything I can tweak with the TV?
Thanks for any tips... I really need to get this working somehow. :frowning:
