I just finished reconfiguring my room because of the hearth problem. For 8 years I've had one speaker up on the hearth and one on the floor. I got new speakers and decided to re-wire everything so that I could get the right speaker placement and I am so glad that I did. The issue I had was no flexibility in terms of placement. The bigger problem now is the WAF, which is quite low at the moment. Oh well.
speakers on fireplace hearth???
Anyone have any experience with placing speakers on bricks in front of unused fireplace? The hearth is raised about 8 inches. Should I place anything under the speakers?...use the spikes? The back of the speakers will be about 10 inches from brick. Should I hang something between the speakers and the brick? Advice or websites that address this issue would be appreciated.
