magnets and speakers

Dearest /tech/,

Will a strong magnet affect the output of the average speaker? Googling 'speaker' and 'magnet' turns up things the speaker magnet might screw up, but not the other way around.

exactly.

a 42" lcd would extend past either side of the in-wall cubby by an inch or two. I want to be able to pop it open to get to the treasures within when ever I want to without seeing any of the hardware supporting it when it's closed up.

I'll ask again before resuming my mediocrity: will a rare earth magnet within an inch or so of a speaker introduce any distortion or humming or anything?
