Components on floor


I have four components, a Roon Nucleus, Ayre DX-5 disc player, QX-5 DAC, and Ax-5 integrated  that I propose to place on a hardwood over concrete floor.  They would be below a wall mounted electric fireplace.  Is this a bad idea, and if so, why?

I have all source components on a DIY decoupling shelf system. I have suspended floors. My subs sit on Stillpoints SS, my monos sit on a Symposium Ultra each with HRS footers. This does a great job. I agree that a spring setup under wood platform would be A very effective solution.

I’m thinking of about a Dimplex IgniteXL 60" fireplace unit that’s either on or off.  Instead of mounting it to the wall, the carpenters will build a cabinet to hold the unit at the top with a shelf at the bottom for audio gear.  The cabinet will abut the wall behind with slots for ventilation.  The floor is hardwood over concrete.  The walls are furred-out studs and wall board over concrete.  The gear is an Ayre DX-5/20 disc player, QX-5/20 DAC/preamp, AX-5/20 integrated amp, and Roon Nucleus.  I gave my Thorens TD124 and vinyl to my cousin.

I’m 89 but can comfortably bend to insert a disc.  Mostly I stream music or watch YouTube/Netflix on the 85" Sony. 

I’d say lord in heaven no if not a concrete floor.  Even so elevating a bit makes use easier.  If foundation level and any chance of flooding,  definitely no. Distance from any nearby electric devices always desirable just in case.
