Hello Austinbirdman,

Hope you are well. Axiom states that they are shielded, but they interfere severely with my 32" tube TV if at a 90 degree angle to the tube. Once I angled them inward slightly the large green rings on the screen faded. The shielding problem seems to go away if you slide them backwards about 9 inches from the front of the tube also, but that is not an optimal placement.

The sound quality of these little speakers still astounds me. I chose them over the Axiom VP100 and VP150 because you can cross over at 80Hz without difficulty. I would have to choose a 100Hz crossover with VP100 or VP150. Not sure why Axiom does not have a port or dual port on the VP100 or VP150 to allow them to play lower frequencies.

I am glad you found my information useful.

Later,

TonyM
