Yes they do, however, the speakers that are built into TV's tend to be "sheilded" for AV use. < they also tend to be crappy due to small magnet sizes>
Shielded tends to mean the speakers have small magnets and are surrounded by an 1/8"-1/4" of steel plating. The steel interupts or disrupts the magnetic field just enough to "shield" the CRT,Plasma, or electronics from magnetic interference.
Plasma is Highly suseptable to magnetic interference. My suggestion would be to place the speakers 4' away and have someone slowly move them towards the edges of the plasma screen. You keep an eye on the screen and look for any distortion/color interference that might crop up. Depending on the speakers and the pattern of the magnetic field around them you may be able to get them relatively close to the screen. after you've moved them "in" move them back and forth < upstage, downstage> to see if you are catching "corners" of the magnetic field. After you've established a good posistion you might want to then move the speakers away about 6" or so just because, like any danger, even if you don't see interference, doesn't mean it's not there.
After getting the speakers in the proper posistion, check to see if you monitor has a "De-Guassing" feature. Pressing this will remove residual magnetic interference on the screen.
