Unregistered guest | Can anyone tell me if they have had the opportunity to listen to both the shielded and unshielded variety of a particular speaker and if any discernable difference was heard? I am particularly interested in the Studio 60's. TC |

J. Vigne Unregistered guest | There is no performance difference. Shielding means adding an additional magnet structure to the rear of the woofer to control the magnetic flux field. The only reason for shielding is to make the speaker placement, when used in proximity to a CRT (tube type) television or minitor, more flexible. Both versions will sound the same. |

Unregistered guest | J. Vigne: Thanks for your input. Have you ever done a side by side comparison? I am probably concerning myself over nothing, but I have never compared a shielded and unshielded pair. TC |
