Speaker Stands
Speaker stands are integral accessories for the optimised home cinema system or hi-fi speaker setup. Speaker stands bring the speakers up to the prime listening height, isolate them from the vibrations of surrounding surfaces, and promote optimal setup conditions all around.

About Speaker Stands
HiFi speaker stands are an often overlooked, yet crucial component of audio systems. They are not merely functional accessories; rather, they play a significant role in enhancing a speaker's sound quality. Speaker stands improve a speaker's sound in a few ways. Primarily, they elevate speakers to ear level where sound dispersion towards the listener can be optimised. They also isolate each speaker from surrounding surfaces, thereby minimising sound distortion. When using multiple speakers and speaker stands, you'll also notice greater balance in their positioning and alignment, leading to more accurate imaging.
There are various types of HiFi speaker stands available, catering to different situational needs. Among these, you'll find small speaker stands ideal for bookshelf speakers and desktop monitors, perfect for precise speaker angling. On the other hand, there are larger stands like floor stands for larger bookshelf speakers or centre stands crafted for centre channel speakers. Many brands offer specific stands built to the precise dimensions of their own speakers, while others are made to be universal.
Today, many speaker stands come with advanced features like adjustable top plates and damping mechanisms. These design innovations aim to enhance sound quality even further by reducing vibrations and providing a more secure fit for the speakers.
Finding the best-fitting speaker stands is key to achieving better sound and stability.

Speaker Stands FAQs
Do speakers sound better on stands?
Speakers do indeed sound better on correctly fitting speaker stands. The positioning and isolation stands offer can significantly improve the sound quality. For example, when a pair of bookshelf speakers are elevated to ear level, the sound is projected more directly to the listener, reducing reflections from the floor or other surfaces, which can distort the sound.
Are heavy speaker stands better?
The weight of speaker stands does play a significant role in sound quality. Heavier stands tend to be more stable, reducing unwanted vibrations that can interfere with the clarity of the sound. They also provide a solid foundation for the speakers, ensuring they are secure and well-supported.
Is rubber or spikes better for speaker stands?
The choice between rubber feet and spikes for speaker stands largely depends on the floor type. For hard surfaces like wood or tile, spikes are often preferred as they minimise contact area, reducing vibrations. On softer surfaces like carpet, rubber feet can provide stability and prevent the stand from sinking into the material. When using spikes, however, pads or cups may be required to protect the floor's surface.
