Components on floor

OP

just isolate the hard wood from the concreate floor. It should work

Get some butcher block boards that fit under each component, under the blocks put your favorite footer.

I agree with @ghdprentice, I would avoid placing sensitive equipment close to the electric fireplace. Besides heating elements, the fireplace contains fans, LEDs to illuminate the faux flames, and all sorts of control circuitry. Lots of opportunity for undesirable electrical noise.

Two words: vacuum.cleaner. 

Also, do you like standing on your head to adjust the volume? 

Can someone please explain the supposed advantages of putting your equipment on the floor?

One advantage is that you don't need to spend $15,999 on an Audiophile rack 😃
