I would like to offer my own experience with Bose 901 placement. Here is how to properly place them*:
1. speaker should be placed at least 18-24" from side walls. However, unless your hearth is unusually large, a few inches suffices.
2. It is important that the speaker be at least a few inches off the floor, so that air can flow into the chimney.
3. The stand is optional. Many users report balancing the speaker on top of rolled up newspaper (bottom) with small kindling (top) produced good results.
4. Make sure damper is open! This should not be a problem late in the heating season, but is a perennial nuisance for the first cold snap in Autumn and you're building a fire when you're s##tfaced
* A few weeks early
In all serousness, I like bose 901, own three pairs, but have moved on to other speakers. I wish they were as easy to sell as they were to buy cheap!!!
