So a mantel 6 inches deep, would be attached 18 inches above the firebox opening. Then adding an inch to the distance for every inch that the mantel protrudes. As a general rule, the mantel is placed about 12 inches above the fireplace opening. The building codes will typically determine the height to place the mantel from the hearth, and the distance from the firebox. All operational fireplaces are to be constructed in accordance with safety regulations that position flammable material, such as a wood mantel, far enough away from the flames and heat so that it does not ignite. These codes state that for every 1/8 inch of protruding combustible material, you must add an additional inch of clearance. There are National Fire Codes that require all flammable materials to be at least 6" from the fireplace opening, and depending on the overhang and material of the mantel, that distance could be more.
While we may have grown up listening to this Christmas song, the idea of hanging combustible stockings above the fireplace may not have been the greatest suggestion.

I'd eventually like to upgrade to a MAC7200, but that ain't happening for a long while, so I'm thinking the two sets of speakers would hold me over for a while and/or may even be good enough to not want the MAC."The stockings were hung on the chimney with care."

The P3s for clean, smooth relaxing, natural sessions, and the Heresey's for full lively, in your face "rock" sessions. I narrowed down my choices to the P3s and Hereseys, but because they are so different, I am tempted to get both. I need forward facing speakers that do good up against the wall, and I don't want to go on the speaker treadmill. I have some Harbeth P3ESRs coming so I'm going to listen to them on the mantel first. Without the board my thermometer went up, with it, it didn't change. I left the fire on for a good hour and it remained cool on the "speaker" side of the foam board. I just wanted them and was wondering if it is doable. Behind the couch is some other stuff, so yes, I am stuck. Personally I don't really want to anyway, they would get in the way.

There's a couch up against it on one side and a TV with stand on the other and my wife says no to bringing the speakers out in the room. I will have some decent bookshelves on the mantle, so the Heresey's are just extra for when I want that sound sound.Ĭlick to expand.Unfortunately they do. I don't have anywhere else to put them, so this question is more about whether it would protect the Heresey's vs. I'm waiting to hear back, but I'm curious what others out there think. I then asked if putting a heat resistant barrier between like some poster board or plywood would work, or adhering some of this to the side of the Heresey's facing the center fireplace would work and or alter the sound coming from them as long as the front of the speaker were not blocked: Regardless, Klipsch did not recommend placing them there or anywhere near a heat source. I'm guessing the speaker might absorb more heat than the air measured around it though. I also asked for the heat tolerances so I could measure the radiant heat and see if it did not exceed the temp.
I asked Klipsch about placing the Hereseys there w/o any protection and slightly toed in. The reason I mention it is because it does not get hot to the touch so that tells me although there is radiant heat around the fireplace when it is on, it does not get burning hot. There's one of those fire grates around it that's meant to stop stuff from popping out and burning your floor, but it's decoration only as there is a glass front to the fireplace. Each end is about 15" from the metal surround of the fireplace. The hearth is about 70" across and 13" deep. I really wanted to pick up a pair of Heresey IIIs to place literally on my gas fireplace brick hearth on either end.
