As with most anything, you get what you pay for. :) --- End quote --- I thought that since I am on a budget, and I'd rather put my money into P360s for now, that I would buy some cheap speakers that I could upgrade later. In the future, I could use some great car audio speakers that would be the same size. But for now, I will settle on some '#@#$' as long as I don't damage the monitor. That is my main concern and the reason for this thread. I plan on thowing down the big bucks for that, and I will want to protect my investment by taking proper care of it. |

Just get some cheap shielded speakers from bob roberts, that way you don't really have to worry about screwing up the monitor |

Okay, I was just going to get the shielded speaker from therealbobroberts, but after seeing this: http://joelsgadgets.com/SpeakerLighting.html and this: http://www.blaupunktusa.com/BlaupunktUSA/Products/Speakers/Transparent/Coaxial/TSx402.htm I want to use these instead. The Blaupunkt website says that they have 'Big magnets keep the tunes loud and large with high power handling levels'. Big magnets that I don't know if they are shielded or unshielded could cause a problem, right? So, would these be okay if I keep them a foot away from the monitor, as was suggested? |
| REBIRTH:
Those "big magnet" ones don't appear to be shielded. May want to givethem a call to see. As for keeping them a foot away if they are unshielded, that may be enough space - but may not - depends on the magnet obviously, and the ones you have listed there have some heavy duty magnets. My other concern might that a foot of space between monitor and speaker may be awkward. If you think about it, the "normal" speaker placement is right above the monitor, which for most games is probably only 6 inches away. Moving that to a foot may make you lose the look of a classic arcade cabinet (if you were looking to maintain that look anyway, you may be looking for something different). Those light up speakers are very cool though. Had I seen them before building my first cab I may have gone for it ;D |

You can get away with using the Blaupunkt speakers without monitor interference. I would say mine are about 6 inches away from the top of my D9200. Now a 15 inch subwoofer (Tempest) was a different story. You cannot install a very high powered magnet like that and expect the image not to screw up. You'll be ok with the 5 1/4's. |
