Know before you buy
The S6 stands are specifically engineered for speakers between 4 and 7 inches. Using them with larger speakers may compromise stability and affect the intended acoustic performance.
By angling the speakers upward, the S6 directs sound directly toward your ears rather than your chest or desk surface. This positioning helps you hear more accurate high-frequency details and improves the overall soundstage.
If your speakers have a 1/4"-20 mounting hole, using the included screws is highly recommended for added security. However, the foam padding on the top surface provides enough grip to keep most speakers stable if you prefer not to screw them in.
Yes, the integrated foam padding on the bottom of the stands acts as an isolator. It decouples your speakers from the desk surface, which significantly reduces unwanted resonance and vibration.
While they are optimized for Kanto YU6 and TUK speakers, they will work with any brand of speaker that fits within the 4 to 7-inch size range. Just ensure your speakers have a flat base or a 1/4"-20 mounting point for the best results.
