OK... since I am a diy and a 35 year audiophile (but without the outerspace budget) I am building up a new 5.1 system (music oriented) by adding to my old. Now its not THAT old and certain components like mid/late 90s Rotel amps are staying... just got a few more of them off ebay... including a 2004 Rotel 1098 processor preamp, as well as as major upgrade to Vandersteen speakers (pair of 2Ce's and a pair of 1B"s for the main LR and sides). Working the rear and center options. Vandersteen is unique and though not a rock speaker... hey are superb in their reproduction to original.... the 2Ce's are truely awesome.
But I got a wild hair and just bought the guts from a pair of Vandersteen 1C's off eBay. It is my intent to build a truely musical Center (driven from the two center outs on the 1098 (1 and 2 although they are identical)) to these 4 drivers and their crossovers. It will be a matched pair inside one cabinet. But the drivers are not sheilded... and I confess I do not fully yet understand EM sheilding. So please teach me what it takes to "Shield" from the influences of a 30" wide screen tube (yes tube... and it weighs a ton, 1080i) but it still works and I'm not considering a replacement for it yet.
Info links??? Comments/suggestions?
Thanks, Dave
