Advice on Bose speakers?

[solrac]

I need a really good system. Should I splurge on these?

My NUMBER ONE concern is this:
ARE THEY SHIELDED? i.e. -- will my %#&* iPhone (or any cell phone) cause the speakers to rattle and pop and scream like a banshee at any close proximity? You guys must know this phenomenon I'm talking about.

2. Are there any 24 hour apple stores besides the new york one?

Thanks! :-D

gah, I found these also on apple:

And one of the line items it says - magnetically shielded

But the companion 5 doesn't say that

And anyway is that what will prevent the cell phone interference noise?

Shielded speakers will help, but in my experience the interference still happens with GSM phones.

You could wrap the speakers in tinfoil, and then ground the tinfoil. That might reduce sound quality a bit, though.

really?

Wow, is there no speakers protected against this nightmare?????

I fight the issue by simply moving my iPhone to the speaker rack behind me. This seems to stop all interference.
