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?

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?
