I had my mind set on buying the M-Audio BX5 monitors (they are magnetically shielded), but then, by accident, I stumbled upon a nice deal on the M-Audio BX8 monitors.

But the following question soon arose in the back of my head: How far away from my computer screen will I have to place the BX8s in order to prevent interference?
 
It could be two or three feet, depending on the size of the woofer magnet.
 
The BX8's are shielded (in case that wasn't made clear).
 
Question about shielding:

I have a pair of Dayton monitors(built them from a kit), and they are not shielded. I just got a huge 22" NEC Diamondtron CRT, and even at like 3-4 feet to the sides the monitors are still causing the CRT to be discolored in certain areas.

how can i rememedy this situation without A)buying a new CRT and B)buying new monitors ???

I have a 17" LCD, but i got this NEC CRT for 50 bucks and it's well worth it, plus the desk i'm using is a corner desk that is specifically designed for huge CRTs.

Thanks!!
 
You can't. Magnetic shielding is misleading. 'Shielded' monitors have speakers with magnets that are shaped in such a way that the magnetic field they give off doesn't go very far. You can't, as far as I know, actually shield something from a magnetic field.
