On the web page for each Axiom Speaker, you'll find the following:
All Axiom Tower (and Bookshelf) Speakers feature:
Titanium Tweeters
Aluminum Woofers (and Midranges where applicable)
Anti-Standing-Wave cabinets that suppress internal resonances which color sound
Video-shielded for maximum placement options
Vortex-ported cabinets to reduce port noise
5-way gold-plated binding posts
The video shielding should protect your TV set. You can place the speakers just about anywhere you want without interfering with your TV.
How do you like your Sony? It's a very highly rated set.
