can be a minefield. You might be thinking &#8216;which ones are the best suited to me?&#8217;, &#8216;how high should speaker stands be?&#8217;, or &#8216;why use speaker stands at all?&#8217; If you&#8217;re asking yourself any of these questions then we can provide the answers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First of all, it\u2019s easy to overlook the importance of speaker stands (and many people do), but they&#8217;re often just as important to overall sound quality as speakers themselves. However, if not selected properly you put your speakers, sound quality, and interior aesthetic at risk. The last thing we want is to see our precious speakers toppled over!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">Speaker stands are an essential part of a<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">ny<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">\u00a0sound setup.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">They provide greater<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">\u00a0flexibility and allow\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">us\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">to position\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">our<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">\u00a0speakers anywhere<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">\u00a0within a space.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">This takes us<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\"> one step closer, aesthetically as well as acoustically, to the <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">ultimate<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">\u00a0home audio experience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166703142 BCX8\">So, when searching for the right speaker stand there are several key things to consider.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Choosing a Stand&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_a_Stand\"><\/span>Choosing a Stand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-18820\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/how-high-should-speaker-stands-be-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Which Speaker Stands Are Best For Me?\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When it comes to securing your speakers, there are a few factors you should consider which range from maximum load to inert filler.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But first, it&#8217;s worth thinking about what kind of environment your speakers will be placed in. Do you have pets or young children roaming the floors? Are any of your speakers placed near a door? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If yes, these are all reasons to spend a bit more time and money finding the ideal, robust stands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maximum_Load\"><\/span>Maximum Load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Any good-quality speaker stand will come with a <\/span>maximum load (or weight rating<span data-contrast=\"auto\">). This tells you the heaviest speaker weight it can withstand. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s important not to exceed this\u2014the last thing anyone wants to see is your \u00a31,000 speakers toppled over because their stands weren\u2019t a suitable strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To avoid such a disaster, we recommend checking the product specifications for maximum load weights and comparing this against the weight of your speakers.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-2\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Plate\"><\/span>Top Plate<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18805 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Floorstanding-speaker-stands-top-plate-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Floorstanding speaker stands - top plate\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On a similar note, select stands with a suitably sized top plate. We\u2019re not saying that you need to go for 100% coverage, but a 100 x 100 mm plate is clearly very risky for a speaker with base dimensions of 200 x 300 mm.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Some speaker stands come with the option to fix or secure the speaker to the top plate, usually by screwing the speaker to the stand. With this option, you can get away with slightly smaller top plates and maintain stability. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, this typically involves drilling holes into the speaker cabinet. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While such stands offer an obvious stability advantage, hi-fi enthusiasts can be understandably reluctant to drill holes into their precious new toys.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unfortunately, no universal rule exists to determine what size of top plate is appropriate. A judgement call should be made based on how the speaker will be attached to the stand and the general traffic around the speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-3\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Base_plate\"><\/span>Base plate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the basics of freestanding structure design is that the wider and heavier the base, the more stable the structure will be. The same is true for speaker stands, for greater stability, it may be worth investing in stands with a wider base. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For additional stability, feet are usually attached to the base plate. There are two types of feet generally used: rubber feet for hard floors, and spikes for carpet. Sometimes spikes will have flat disks beneath them to make them suitable for wooden flooring too. It is worth checking which feet a stand comes with to ensure they&#8217;re appropriate for your home flooring. Some stands may even come with both feet types to make life easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Shop Now | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/Furniture\/KEF-S2-Speaker-Stands-Pair-Carbon-Black\/4HJZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FEF S2 Speaker Stands<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-4\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filler_Compatibility\"><\/span>Filler Compatibility<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18803 size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Floorstanding-speaker-stands-inert-filler-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Floorstanding speaker stands - inert filler\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Continuing with the theme of stability: the heavier the stand, the more stable it will be.

After all, this is something you\u2019re going to be spending a lot of time admiring in your home!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-5\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Speaker_Stand_Design\"><\/span>Speaker Stand Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hours upon hours are spent designing speakers and amplifiers, so why not make sure your stands complement them? Colour-matching is often a good starting point. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-18810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Floorstanding-speaker-stands-top-plate-lifestyle-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Floorstanding speaker stands - built-in cable management\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Also, consider what material the stand is made of. How will this look when placed next to the material of your speaker? Is one a matte finish while the other is gloss? How will the materials suit my home environment? Are they durable or easy to clean?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Common materials for speaker stands are solid wood, vinyl-wrapped wood, and steel. If your budget allows it, we\u2019d typically encourage you to choose steel stands; they\u2019re the most <\/span>durable<span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and often compatible with inert filler or sand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cable management <span data-contrast=\"auto\">can also factor into your choice of speaker stands. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nowadays, most speaker stands, such as the <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/speaker-stands?page=1&amp;filters%5bmanufacturer_id%5d=1852#spkr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mountson Sonos floor stands<\/a><\/strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> come with some form of built-in cable management solution, routing the cables down the stand and concealing them from view.

Consequently, you may compromise by getting stands with smaller base plates and thinner bodies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To deal with the potential trade-offs when choosing a speaker stand, it is worth selecting your priorities ahead of time. Ultimately, they will differ significantly from one person to the next. Oh, and if your speakers are in a shared space, you might want to consider your housemate&#8217;s priorities too\u2026<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-7\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_High_Should_Speaker_Stands_Be\"><\/span>How High Should Speaker Stands Be?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Good speaker stands should raise the speakers to the perfect listening height. As you might guess, the ideal height is level with the listener\u2019s ear. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As a rule of thumb, we\u2019d recommend placing the speaker&#8217;s <\/span>tweeter<span data-contrast=\"auto\"> at the height of your ear while you&#8217;re seated.
