Big Loud Speakers

[Loserkid]

So i got a strong stereo and connected it to my computer. I'm just worried about the effects on that on the screen and mybe hard-disk or cpu... Because i know speakers have a magnet in them... and i'm guessing this one is big.

I noticed as i move the speaker around, the color of the screen from the speaker's side changes a bit towards green.

can anybody clear this thing for me please? thank you.

If you want to keep using those speakers, you should mount them on the wall or find another place to put them so they won't cause any interference.

Hi-fi speakers do have strong magnets in them. So do speakers which are meant to be used near computers, but they also have magnetic shielding for the reason you have found, namely that CRT monitors can be affected. CRT TVs as well. As for your hard drive and CPU, forget it. They will be fine.

The answer is, keep the speakers far enough away from the monitor so that they do not affect the colours ("colors" in America). Then everything will be fine. Or buy an LCD monitor, then you can put the speakers where you like.

One more thing -- the magnetic field can erase floppy disks. Not CDs or DVDs. So don't store floppy disks on or near the speakers.

Post a blueprint of your room and the available space including electrical schematics and we'll see what we can come up with.

well i can fix the electricity however i want so don't worry about that...



and im gonna add 2 more speakers for the rear to have a 5.1. (once i find them lol) would it work? My new 5.1 soundcard has too many inputs. There is Center (black), 1 (green) 2 (orange) --dunno if that means L and R but i dont think so, (red) -- dunno what that is, mic (blue). How do i do this?

Have you considered a wall-mount solution ? ?
