Would large, "built-in" entertainment rack have negative effect on sound, or equipment?

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I'm planning on opening up one of my walls (outside wall) to build a flush entertainment cabinet. It would be about 4' wide, 8' tall, and about 2.5' deep.
I would put pre-amp (audible illusions m3a), amp (Bel Canto eVo 2) on bottom shelves, 40" Sony Vega tube tv in middle, with Sony SCD-1 and turntable on 2nd shelf above TV. Any other video related gear would be on a shelve directly above the TV.
Are there tweaks I could do to shield the TV from my audio components? Would sheet metal, that has a grounded sheild wire connected to it, and attached to the bottom of the shelf above the TV, and directly under the TV be effective?
Would I have any problems with sound/bass entering this space in the wall? I will be getting a pair of GMA Continuum 3's in 2 weeks, and this summer plan to buy a pair of Vandersteen subs. At this time, i'm only interested in 2 channel sound.
I am looking for any help/advice....
Thanks... Richard
