Is it possible to shield unshielded speakers?


Hi,

I bought a pair of paradigm Monitor 7's unshielded from a friend (at the time, this wasn't an issue).
Now,I plan to upgrade my tv to a widescreen (16x9). Since my living room is a bit small, I would like to know if it's possible to shield my present speakers or do I have to get a new shielded pair?

Thanks for all your help in this matter.

I had this very problem myself once.I mutilated a pair of old bookshelf speakers laying around and cut the magnets off of the drivers and used them as bucking magnets.You wont need to glue or anything,the magnets will hold together just fine.Just for the record,I am not familiar with your particular speakers as far as size of drivers but mine were 10in 3 ways that I was shielding and the 4-5in midrange didnt even need it just the 10in driver.I agree with the others,I wouldnt do anything untill you do have a problem,you will know if the drivers are messing with the picture or not.
