Is this $40/pair or each?

You should worry more about the fairly strong deguassing field that is 
activated everytime you turn on your monitor. It basically demagnitizes
your screen when you turn the power on. The magnetic fields from the
speakers are pretty weak. You would have to just about rub your diskettes
on the speaker magnets in order to erase them.
