    Its not gonna do them any favours, but will probably not hamper their function or lifespan in any serious way at all.
    Ideally you want perfect placement, a sound-treated room and the best equipment possible.
    But in the real world, you work with what you got.

    In five years you may want to replace those monitors. Being that close to the radiator for five years should be OK. A lot of speakers deal with hot and sweaty clubs night-in, night-out and hold out for a useful lifespan.

    Of course your room could be in Antarctica and the radiators are pushing out 80 celcius of heat. I can't vouch for that.
    bored, curious, deaf or just bad taste in music?
    finally a mix by me
    and what's this, another shoddy mix...another dull mix

    Hehe no i dont live in Antarctica

    In a week or two the weather is probably gonna get alot better so the radiator wont even be turned on at all.Maybe only in the middle of the night.
    But yeah in Greece winters only get slightly cold for like a month no more,so yeah the monitor wont be exposed to it for long times.


    In 5 years i will be famous and working in professional studios so...



    jk i suck.

    can't see the amount of heat in those pictures, move the speaker somewhere else if you feel concerned.
