What customers say
These speaker stands are overwhelmingly praised as an essential upgrade for serious audio enthusiasts due to their exceptional build quality.

Beyond performance, the furniture grade design seamlessly complements high-end listening rooms.

Know before you buy
The open frame design with horizontal cross bracing is engineered to manage mass and rigidity while creating a single energy transition path. This minimizes resonance and interference, allowing your speakers to perform exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Yes, Custom Design offers customized heights for the Concept Series. If your specific studio monitor setup requires a different elevation, you can request a custom build to suit your listening position.
The included spiked feet provide a stable, level foundation by anchoring the stand firmly to the floor, which is essential for decoupling the speaker from vibrations. If you are placing these on hardwood floors, we recommend using protective floor discs to prevent scratching.
The top plate measures 6.3" x 7", making these stands well-suited for a wide range of bookshelf-style studio monitors. We recommend measuring the footprint of your specific speakers to ensure they sit securely within these dimensions.
The SS6 and SS8 models share the same design philosophy and build quality, with the primary difference being their physical dimensions. You should choose the model that best aligns with your required height and the footprint of your speaker cabinets.
