Hi, Yesterday I bought a Bose Companion 3 series 2 speaker set - a center bass amplifier/speaker and two titchy little ones. In the shop I said I wanted them to attach to the TV, and also to listen to my iPod. They attach via the headphone socket, so it should be easy to switch between the two. In the shop, they sounded pretty good. When we got them home, however, and attached them to our (7 year old non-flatscreen) TV, the results were very disappointing. The manual states that the large speaker should be "at least 6 inches" from a TV set, to avoid interference. However even at significantly more than this there is a continual low-pitched hum when the TV is on. The manual says it is not shielded. Is there anything we could do to sheild it ourselves, or have we been mis-sold? THe system does sound great with the iPod, however the main use was meant to be for the TV. If this isn't the right kind of solution for our needs, could anyone recommend what we really want? I don't really want to spend more than around £250. Many thanks!
