Mu metal shielding for TV speakers?
Dear Sir:
I have stereo TV that has a minor problem. The left speaker is not adequately shielded, and causes a bit of green/purple discoloration on the screen. Will mu-metal shielding help with this, and can you think of a better/easier way to help this? Tell me where to shop for the material you recommend- any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Brian, do a search on "magnetic shielding" on the internet. You'll come up with a few folks who sell mu-metal, and who can better answer your question.
Good luck!
