i was talking to a polk rep today about magnetic shielding as i am thinking about turning a bookshelf on its side and using it as a center, and the rep told me there are degrees of magnetic shielding. bookshelf/floostanding speakers have a second magnet attached to the one that drives the speaker, which dampens/cancels the magnetic field of the speaker. center channels have both the second magnet and a layer of metal placed somehow in the speaker (not sure on the details) to further dampen the signal since it is usually placed right next to the TV. so... i would suggest moving the bookshelf speakers farther away.
also, it might not be the speakers, depending on the type of TV. some of the new-fangled TV's get funkily colored after they are moved, and clear up after they are left off for 30 minutes. might want to check you TV manual. -
Sometimes the bucking magnet might not have recieved it's opposite polarity charge properly. In this case, Polk would probably be willing to assist you with replacing the culprit driver. I would call Polk CS and see what they say to do.
