Hi fi near a radiator?

Title reminds me of the Smiths

'Hi-fi near a radiator, I know
I know, it's serious

Thank you all. The little stained glass windows are a nice feature. I'll put a couple of better pictures up of them tomorrow if interested... there's a large stained glass window half way up the stairs which looks stunning. We're really happy, can't quite believe it's our house.

Benson is very frequently the coldest place in England, it's bizarre, like it has its own little climate.

This house is in Worsley though so unfortunately it's a weekend only house for the next two and a half years until I leave the RAF. Unless I'm extremely lucky and bag a posting at Manchester careers office; a job which doesn't really interest me but one which will allow me to live in my beautiful home.

My Hi-Fi rack sits very close to a radiator, I simply turn it right off, problem solved.

That's just down the road from me!

I think it looks great by the window and you can sit listening to music and looking at your lovely garden at the same time. Congratulations it looks like a lovely house, may you have many years of happiness there.

I agree, but the gear by the fireplace looked too cramped/wrong. Could the hi-fi rack go the otherside of the bay window maybe?

It can go wherever you want! I'd say get a new rack that fits wherever you finally decide that you want to place it. Don't discount getting longer speaker wires either... I also think that "cramped by the fire in the unfurnished house" says beautifully "we just moved in and nothing is decided yet"

Those windows are beautiful though.

Thank you all for the nice comments once more. I did like the speakers either side of the window which as mentioned allows me to look upon the garden, however, I found that the floor slopes at the right hand side of the window meaning my speaker stands wonky! I also thought that having them by the window would mean my speakers will suffer from sun bleaching.

Another reason is I intend to have a projector screen on the wall opposite the window. This location will allow me to use my stereo speakers as FR and FL in a surround sound set up.

A few more pictures for those who may be interested.
