How large a magnet should you use to make "hidden" speaker grille fasteners? This link lists some very small ones.

At what size will they begin to affect CRT TV's?

Neodymium magnets do not have much of a magnet stray field, so they should not impact your CRT TV.

And it ain't like you'll be able to go too big... I've got some that I thought were kinda puny, and it takes some real effort to pull the stuff out...

I've used 1/4 magnets for the grills I've done (all monitor size 2-ways), and 4 per speaker was enough. If I was doing a big floorstander I'd probably use 8 for each grill or move up to the next size and use 6.

I have held on grilles made of solid Bubinga with 1" sides and top, and about 2" of wood on the bottom at 1" thick, total size 9x22 with 4 magnets, and it works great. The stupid things are almost impossible to get off because they sit flush....

That's what I found when trying to look under the hood of a Klipsh(?) HT - they were flush and tough to budge! AL P
