the right speaker is altering the colors on my computer screen. i am guessing the left side of the speaker is not shielded? it's about half a foot away from the screen.. will this break my speakers or not?
 
I take it you have the wharfdale unshielded HiFi speakers and not the sheilded Wharfdale studio monitors.

All you can do is move things around or throw up some metal foil between the monitor and the speaker
 
i do have the diamond pro 8.2 active. they're not hifi.. or i dont believe so..
the speakers are black.. they should be shielded.. will cooking foil work?

will this break my speakers or not? i dont care about the computer screen..
 
Flat screens are very cheap these days...and much nicer :)

Your Wharfies must be very close together to be so close to the monitor.
 
Your speakers will fine. Your monitor might be permanently damaged though.

You can find 15" LCD screens for under $200 now. They won't have the problem. Or you can just move your monitors farther from your monitor.
 
I have the 8.2a's mine are about 5 or 6 feet apart and 5 feet in front of me...puts me right in the sweet spot

I was just wondering what children between Wharfdale Audio monitors and a computer monitor would look like....
 
Wow, that would be neat. Like those silly bootsite computer monitors with the speakers built in.... only they're high quality studio monitors. It would be really wide, and look sort of like an old tv set.
 
my monitors are not straight they are turned sideways a little facing me. is this the right way to do it?

what happened to the SEARCH function?

There is a good discussion regarding placement in the users manual but most people recomend putting the speakers in two corners of an equilateral triangle with your head in the listening position at the third point.

This can be easily done with a yard stick or mark a piece of string.

1. Measure the distance from your speakers to your ears at the listening spot.

2. Seperate the speakers from each other by the same distance.

3. The manual if I remember correctly recomended about a 30 degree angle.

4. The manual also recomends standing them upright but if you lay the speakers on their sides put both tweeters to the outside for the best stereo imaging. I am using some iso pads that angle the speakers down toward my listening position so I do have mine on my sides...can't take a chance on them tipping over.

Thanks David I broke them in yesterday and WOW! These are amazing especially compared to my Alesis Mk 1's.

Fed Ex left them Friday on my door step but someone along the way wrote a strange cryptic message in black sharpie on one of the shipping boxes...I know you typically drop ship and had nothing to do with the message but it was strange none the less.

"Don't be being a menace when drinking your juice in the hood"

LOL

I don't live int the Hood
I don't go to the Hood
I would not by juice in the Hood if I went
and being a nerdy scrawny white guy with a strong sense of survival

if I ever went to the Hood and bought juice there I would not hang around there to drink it if you know what I mean....must have me confused with someone less concerned for their life.
 
Scooter . . . I have my Wharfedales setting right next to my two monitors... they are sitting upright tho. . . no problems yet with the monitors. Hope this helps.
