Should I get shielded front speakers? (1 Viewer)

They are going to be Paradigm Monitor 7 towers. Currently I have a large entertainment center so they aren't near the TV, but I may end up going with a big screen in the next year or so if I move houses

2ndary question: how *far* away should a sensitive component be before I think about shielding?

For example, getting new surround speakers. One side is within 2 ft of my PC. (Hard drive.) Do I need to worry about that?

Scott,
I think if you're going to spend the money on the Paradigms you might as well shell out the extra $ to get them shielded. If you do go for the big screen than shielding may come in handy depending on how close you have to place them to the TV.
