I purchased a pair of Yorkville YSM1s which are not magnetically shielded. To fix that I also purchased to "sets" of shielding. Upon opening the box I found just two bucking magnets, so I started to dig deeper into the subject.
Yorkville website indicated that there should be a bucking magnet glued to each speaker, in other words two magnets per box. The retailer insisted that only one magnet per box needed to be attached to the woofer because tweeter did not create any significant magnetic field.
I checked both, the tweeter and the woofer and found that the bucking magnet's size matched the size of tweeter magnet, and looked too small for the woofer's magnets.
Someone at Yorkville, Canada, explained that this bucking magnet can be fixed to EITHER tweeter OR woofer. He even suggested that since the bucking magnet did not match the shape of woofer's magnet all too well, it could be broken into two halves and glued separately.
Naturally, the Yorkville's answer should be most reputable.
Still, does anyone have experience to tell, should I go for tweeter or woofer? Or both? (I can purchase another pair of magnets or maybe use magnets from some blown speakers).
What effect does this kind of shielding have on the speakers performance and efficiency?
