It would concern me. If they are fairly close to the fireplace they will get hotter than the room temperature is. No different than if you sit to close to a campfire. At first you're comfortable, pretty soon you get hot and have to move back. Same thing. Set them up and see how warm they get. If they seem to warm, I'd move them away.
Speakers and a fireplace heat?
So I am thinking of moving my system into another room, but it has a fireplace and I would like to use the fireplace.
This might seem like a dumb question, but I have never considered it and it seems like it would be bad, but how far from the fireplace should speakers be?
I am not speaking of acoustics, but of the heat or long term effects.
