Kanto SP6HD Universal Desktop Speaker Stands - 6 Inch - 2 Pack - Steel (Black)

All metal, heavy quality construction, just the right size and colour for my KEF LSX desktop speakers. What's not to like? The photo shows the as-installed one of the pair, surrounded by the usual clutter of a music-enabled office desk.Solidly constructed using thick steel plate, with dense rubber foam pads for contact with the desk and the speaker, they are roughly 2.6kg each unit, consisting of a heavy base plate (18 x 21cm steel about 4mm thick), a central pillar and smaller top plate which supports the installed speaker. The top plate can be secured to the speaker with standard 1/4" threaded bolt if, like the LSX, the speaker has a suitable threaded socket. I don't know how secure speakers without a threaded mount would be - subject to knocks from wayward children, dogs or simply audio vibration, accidents could happen.The top plate is 11 x 17cm, a larger plate is also supplied (18 x 18 cm), both plates are of slightly less thick steel plate, but still heavy and robust.My LSX's measure roughly 15 x 15 x 23H cm, 3.6kg per unit and sit nicely on the smaller of the supplied top plates. Even using the larger top plate, significantly larger stand-mount speakers could be top heavy so despite the substantial mass of these units they will probably not get used for my Heybrook HB2 vintage speakers (10Kg each), despite the audio benefit they could bring.Comprehensive instructions are supplied, along with with bolts, washers and hex keys for assembly.Excellent 2-day delivery from Peter Tyson via Amazon without delivery charge.The usual frustrating absence of key information from the Amazon listing - such as dimensions; only the height is mentioned (and only for purposes of selecting the model required), there being no guidance as to the size of speaker the stand would be suitable for.Not cheap, but for quality units, cost is less of a factor.Do they improve the sound? Of course, this is very subjective; for me they seem to make it more immediate with less colouration, as the centre-line of the KEF drivers is more nearly at ear level when I'm at my desk.So on the whole, yes I would recommend.

I was genuinely surprised by these Kanto stands.For the money I wasn't expecting lovely features & versatility such as internal speaker cable routing & being able to adjust the speaker seat, or top plate, angle (horizontally)They have very good weight to them & also have very good, thick, isolation pads to the base & seat. They also include all hardware necessary for construction and adjustment.Included are two sizes of seat so they are versatile with speaker size too. For reference I have used the smaller seat for a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 50's and some Neat Acoustics Critiques while also testing the larger seat with some Monitor Audio Bronze 100's - all speakers were held very well, with little chance of movement.If you're running Kanto speakers they also have a proprietary system to bolt the speakers securely to the stand.The only, minor, criticism that I have, so far, is that the internals where you run the speaker cable is a little "unfinished" & sharp so you can easily snag/damage your cable if you don't feed it through.In summary:These are well designed units that are versatile and at an attainable price - Highly recommended.

These Kanto Speaker stands are excellent quality, very heavy.Well made and of course an excellent match for the Kanto YUK amplified speakers.Easy put together in minutes and so strong when assembled.Of course they are expensive, but if youve got the Kanto speakers theyre well worth it.

Very well built, holds my krk rokit 5s easily even though the stands seem a bit small underneath them. Only issue is the price, but I couldn't find anything else that fit what i wanted.

Great desk stands very well built and sturdy construction, all previous issues must have been addressed as these were perfect ! Buy with confidence.

Really pleased with the product, solid, well manufactured stands! Used for my home cinema front speakers rather than desktop speakers, just the job!

After reading a few of the earlier reviews I was a little hesitant, especially around the comments re the screw thread stripping. However these looked like the perfect stands for my needs (wanted just 6inch tall and the ability to swivel).So I took the plunge and ordered.Turns out nice were absolutely fine. I ordered them in white to match my unit and they were clean with no marks or scratches.I also used the larger top plate and swapping this out was easy. I had no issues whatsoever with the screws. My screws were silver so not sure if they’ve been upgraded since previous reviews.I did take the precaution of hand tightening them first just in case - and then tightened fully with the allan key no problem.These come neatly packaged in a small but heavy box.The only slight gripe was there was an ever so slight wobble due to a small gap between the column and the top plate. I could have left it alone and still been fine due to the weight of the speakers (Yamaha HS7). It wasn’t quite 100% flush, but this was easily rectified by insetting a small piece of card into the hairline gap, and this can’t be seen unless you went looking as it’s underneath the plate (see pic 2). Now they don’t budge at all.The mounting plates also come with alternative holes so you can set the plates at an even wider angle to if you want - they aren’t restricted to just 15 degree swivel.On the whole these are just what I needed. Heavy and well built. 9/10.

Just got mine and have to say there are 0 issues with it and I’m not even using their speakers ontop. There is absolutely no play on the top plate and I have even adjusted one so it’s at 15degrees. No problem with stripped screws, no wobble. Perhaps they’ve updated their design but as of last week it’s absolutely perfect, stable, and looks good.
