danger

I have a Kenwood KA-4006 Amp that I have connected to my macbook. I know that speakers have magnets in them. I just wanted to verify that there are no magnets in the amp that will mess with my mac. Also wondering if I need to worry about my comptuer getting too close to the speakers.

Thanks
