S6

These Kanto S2 speaker stands also work great to tip speakers downwards. My Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers are positioned 14" above my ear level since they sit on the top of a computer roll-top desk, so they need a speaker stand to tip them down, not up. The ProMedia speakers sounded dull with their included stand that tips them upwards. After removing the factory stands, the black Kanto S2 stands securely hold the ProMedia speakers tipping them downwards, even though the speaker bottoms have a curve and would not sit flat on a desk. The S2 stands are very solid and the padding is firm, not cheap foam. The padding protects the speakers and is also on the bottom protecting the desk. There is also a small pad on the center tab. These S2 stands do exactly what I need to tip my speakers downwards. The sound is much improved. I paid 19.99 on Amazon, now (1 month later) they are 29.99. They were definitely worth 19.99, but 29.99 seems a little expensive.

I bought these to use with my Audioengine A2+ speakers, and they ended up being one of those small upgrades that made a bigger difference than I expected. Before this, my speakers were sitting directly on my desk, and looking back, I didn’t realize how much sound was being lost or muddied from the positioning and desk vibrations. The angled design helps point the speakers more toward ear level, and it immediately made the setup sound a little clearer and more focused, especially for vocals and dialogue. The build quality is also really solid for the price. They have a nice weight to them and don’t feel cheap or flimsy. The foam padding on both the top and bottom is a nice touch too. It helps keep the speakers from sliding around and does a decent job reducing vibrations through the desk. Size-wise, they pair perfectly with smaller desktop speakers like the A2+. They don’t take up much extra space, and the clean black finish blends in nicely without drawing attention. My desk setup looks more organized and intentional now instead of just having speakers dropped on the table. One thing I appreciate is that they’re extremely simple. No assembly, no adjustable parts to mess with, just take them out of the box and place your speakers on top. Sometimes that’s exactly what you want. I probably wouldn’t use them for anything especially large or heavy, but for compact desktop speakers they work great and feel well made. Overall, these feel like a well-designed accessory that improves both sound and desk aesthetics without costing a ton. If you have compact desktop speakers and currently have them sitting flat on your desk, these are absolutely worth considering.

As do several other reviewers, I have a set of the KEF LSX II LT speakers on my desktop. They are great little speakers, nearly perfect due to their concentric drivers for a small nearfield system. The main thing missing is a way to properly support and position them, which these Kanto S4 stands do incredibly well. Again, as others have mentioned, they seem designed specifically for these speakers (though they should work well with other similar sized desktop speakers, which there are quite a few of) with the 1/4" mount holes lined up perfectly for the LSX II and LT. The angle is just about perfect for a typical person at a desk so that the speakers are aimed at your ears. The improvement in imaging alone from this is huge. It's hard to imagine the KEF stands, at 6x the price, being worth the extra. One of the best small audio accessory purchases I've made, of quite a few in my lifetime.

I have a pair of medium-sized Edifier speakers that don't need stands because they have rubber feet that protect the desktop, but I'd read that using stands with a slight tilt would improve sound, so I decided to buy the Kanto stands and try them out. I've used Kanto stands for smaller speakers, but I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy they are; the Edifier speakers are pretty hefty, but the stands support them easily. They are also attractive; they match the speakers quite well. These were a good value for the money.

A little pricey for they are but you only have to buy them once and they work perfectly with the Kanto speakers.

These stands look great with my ORA speakers. My only complaint is that the speakers don't sit on these solidly, as in they can move freely and misalign aesthetically over time for various reasons. I would have liked a rubber coating instead of a foam one on top of the stands.

Very sturdy. Has foam padding where it needed to be. I'm using then backwards because the area in a top shelf and need the slight angle down. Works perfectly. Included speaker mounting 1/4x20 thread screws

I was unhappy with the sound from my SVS Satellite speakers that were sitting flat on the counter. I thought speaker stands might help but there wasn't enough headroom for traditional stands so I tried these. Big difference in sound! Much better. If it's because the speakers are tilted up or if it's because there's space underneath them I don't know, but I'm happy with the result! And they ain't bad-looking neither!

High quality metal stands, with a good weight to them. The adonised finish is top notch and the cushioning underneath is a hight quality material.

Buongiorno a tutti! Pienamente Soddisfatto!!! Sono dei supporti molto robusti e resistenti, mantengono l'inclinazione del monitor. Io ho due monitor per home recording delle Presonus E5, ed ho comprato questo supporto per loro. Cose da sapere: 1. Nella parte inclinata del supporto è presente una gomma a protezione della base del monitor; 2. Sono resistentissimi in metallo durissimo, non si piegheranno mai; 3. Li ho presi per tenerli sulla mia scrivania per Home recording, bianchi hanno anche una bell'estetica; 4. L'inclinazione non è regolabile; 5. E' presente un fermo fisso, con protezione in gomma, per non far scivolare la cassa all'indietro. 6. Un pò costosi ma di qualità. Consiglio l'acquisto a chi cerca un supporto da scrivania bello, solido e poco ingombrante ma di dimensioni giuste per monitor tipo i miei. Giuseppe

Buenos soportes para elevar el ángulo de escucha de los Kef lsx II, buena construcción e incluye tornillo para fijar los altavoces.

TL/DR If you're looking stands for improving the position/performance of the Ruark Audio MR1 Mk2 Speakers, look no more. These are the stands you're looking for. Long version. I was looking for speakers stands for the Ruark MR1s for a while. I was looking for stands that will not to compromise the aesthetics of the speakers, and I wanted to avoid using ugly isolation pads. The only alternatives available that I found was the SoundXtra Small Universal Desk Stands and the Stageek desktop speaker stands. I finally considered getting the S2, after reading the reviews of people using them with the Ruark MR1 speakers (Thank you all people, especially the ones who added photos!) The S2 beat both the SoundXtra and the Stageek stands both in price and design. I was concerned that the will be light-weight and will vibrate because of the speakers' weight. However, when tried, they have a very sturdy design. The speakers are also very well secured, as the support platform fits almost perfectly in the space between the speakers' rubber feet. Aesthetically, they have a much smaller footprint when compared with the SoundXtra stands. They are barely visible under the speakers, giving a sensation that the speakers are "floating". They are well padded both in the base of the speaker and the support platform, giving the benefit of exposing the subwoofer and improving performance. The only disadvantage of the S2 stands, when compared with the SoundXtra stands, is that they have a fix angulation of the speakers' platform when the SoundXtra allows some manipulation of its angle. This is not particularly a problem, as most people will set the position of the speakers once and then forget about it.

Sehr stabil, gut verarbeitet und schauen richtig gut aus. Oben eine dünne gepolsterte Auflage, wirklich perfekt. Ich nutze sie für die Edifier R1280T Lautsprecher und das Gesamtbild passt perfekt.
