Shielding in LSi15?

I just got a pair of LSi15s and have them sitting about 3 or 4 feet from my 32" tube TV and have noticed a serious magnetic color bloom. Could the LSis be causing this from that distance? I also have an LSiC right above the TV, but I've had that for months without any problems...
Thanks-
Rob

    The woofer is not shielded, so that could explain your problem.

    I just went to the website and found the following:

    LSi15-
    Subwoofer
    1 - 8" Diameter (20.32cm)
    Polymer composite cone with rubber surround (shielded)

    Midrange
    2 - 5-1/4" Diameter (13.34cm)
    Dynamic Balance with Aerated Polypropelyne cone, rubber surround and cast aluminum basket (shielded)

    Tweeter
    1 - 1" Diameter (2.54cm)
    Dynamic Balance Ring Radiator (shielded)

    But- I think I isolated the problem to a pair of older speakers that I had sitting next to the TV for a while...

    The sub section is shielded, but not as tightly as the top sections are. Unfortunately subwoofers in general are this way due to their much larger motor structures. My LSi25's also did the same thing when I had a direct view TV, the only solution is to move them further away.

    Thanks, Eric- That is a bummer.

    It looks like one speaker is much much worse than the other. Is it possible that the shielding wasn't applied properly? Is there a way to test the shielding?
