How close dare I place unshielded speakers to my TV?

Curious, can you tell me a bit more about this speaker? Design, enclosure, efficiency,how does it handle at low volumes? Dare I ask what the rest of your HT consists of?
I feel so small and inadequate now...this gives new meaning to the phrase "go big, or go home".

LOLOLOLOL......can't you see I am tryin to eat lunch here!!!.....waaahahahehehehehe.....you are on quite a roll man.

The speakers are a custom jobber. The drivers on all of my speakers are made by TAD, and are designed to be exceptionally low in distortion at very high volumes.. The enclosure is 30x17x12.5, real wood veneer, no resonances when you knock on the wood(feels like rapping on cement) efficiency is 99db per watt at 1 meter, maxiumum power recommended is 700 watts, frequency response is listed at 20hz-45khz +/- 3db, between 20hz-20khz in room is measured at +/- 1db at 10ft away, and at least 4ft from any wall. The speakers are time and phase correct, and use constant directivity horn technology. It sound pretty good at low levels, but it really kicks azz at high levels because it's quite a mellow speaker for a horn hybrid. They don't sound like horn hybrids at all. It is very revealing, even to a fault as you hear things that you really shouldn't be hearing(like bad edits, looping, different eq's for dialog, ADR discrepancies with location atmosphere). Not a perfect speaker, but exceptionally good on so many levels.

Three of these speakers make up the L/C/R front setup. I am currently not using a sub because that would be a major overkill in my setup(my mains outperform most subs at 20hz). I am using two custom refitted horn hybrid bipolar speakers, that are voiced identically to the fronts from 80hz up. Their sensitivity is also 99db per watt, one meter distance. These also play VERY loud with low distortion. Frequency response is 50hz-45khz. they have a 6.5" woofer/mid, and a two horn loaded tweeter faced at 45 degree angles.

This whole speaker package belongs in a room three time the size of the room it is currently in. I like the sound of these speakers alot, and I better because I paid enough money for the custom refit.

And I was getting all horny having built my own 2-ways, a few established designs and, looking forward to a 15" sub. There's always someone with cooler toys
I bet you find it a bit drafty in your room when a movie's on, I can imagine 15" L/C/R's pushing quite a bit of air...
99 dB efficiency? That's a recipe for "disturbing the peace" charges.

You are too funny man...hehehehe. Yeah, I have a pretty unique problem that just happens to be the polar opposite of everyone else. Everyone else has problems with soundtracks that overload their subs. My problem is that occassionally the bass coming from these speakers overloads the room. The air is shaking, the windows, the dishes, and my grandmothers front teeth. As good as their bass is, they are extremely well balanced from top to bottom, and that is what I like about them.

You must have all kinds of ideas for room treatments for us then...I can't imagine the setup of those to be a piece of cake to get the kind of measurements you've accomplished...let me know the next time you're up my way...
