Well, the I want to put the receiver ON the shelving unit, which is about 3" taller than what would be ideal. I built a little cubby for the unit when I built the back wall, which is just about an inch wider than the bookshelf but about 6" deeper for the wiring. The cubby is enclosed other than the front, but I did install the return air vent for the heater there right behind where the receiver will be, so it will get some airflow from that. There is a lot more airspace around it being on top of the unit rather than in it. There is no door or anything on the cubby so it will always be open.
