charger3834 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Can a vintage AR speaker placed on a shelf near a plasma TV harm the TV ?? I heard that Plasma TV's are not harmed by unshielded speakers the same way conventional ones are. Any thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar_pro Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 We're using one pair of AR-9's in very close proximity to a Panasonic plasma set, with no difficulties at all. These same speakers couldn't get within 3 feet of a Sony CRT, without causing a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ar_pro Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 You shouldn't have any problems, Brad - after hearing his restored AR-9s, one of my son's law school friends decided to use a pair of AR-90 systems in his small home theater set-up. They'll be flanking a 50" plasma set, and will actually be built into the walls on either side, with the plasma screen set back about 8", and hanging between them. Other than the TV, none of the electronics (or speakers) will be visible. He picked up the 90s from ebay, and has assembled a collection of other drivers from the same source. He'll be using six AR-9 drivers in a home-made center channel, with a single 10" woofer, and electronic crossover. He already owned a multichannel receiver, but after listening to my son's McIntosh amplifiers, has decided to go that route. Amusingly, his current primary audio source is an iPod!
