Jason,
lot's of discussion about speaker shielding/proximity to your tv set, etc. If you have the ability to, you may wish to try the speaker close to your TV for an extended period of time (say 2 weeks). I found when I initially set my VP150 on top of my television there was some magnet-effect on the TV and colours were a little "wonky". However, after about a week or two, the effects went away and the television picture was back to normal. That was a couple of years ago now, and there does not appear to be any long-lasting effect or damage to the set. Of course, YMMV. Good luck.
