Well, I DO still have a CRT monitor even sitting on top of my left three way speaker, but I put tin foil underneath to cut down on the lack of color purity (discolored on the bottom), but fortunately, I also have a flat screen I use for most of my feedback from one of my computers and my online Yamaha tuner/amp (it goes online to stream FM channels). I'm even old tech in that I'm writing this using a Sceptre 16" P73 monitor with this old XP computer, although I did just update it to a full 2GB of memory. So, like Tom, I believe in keeping old technology running. I'm even eventually going to replace the capacitors on my Teac tuner/amp that I replaced with my Yamaha.

Shielding in this instance refers to MAGNETIC shielding so that the magnets in the speakers don't affect the deflection of a TV set or computer monitor. LCD monitors don't care. It's also generally a "right next to" issue even with the CRT monitors. A few feet makes it go away mostly.
