Speaker stands
Getting the right speaker stands is absolutely crucial to achieving the maximum performance
from your loudspeakers -
Something Solid SL24
The SL (short for Structural Logic) speaker stand is a wonderfully simple concept, it uses a central column that is an unfilled thick walled steel pillar which is welded to 25 x 10mm steel bar to give it its support. The designer has been careful to exclude plate steel from the stand as he feels (and we would concur) that they add unwanted resonance’s. The steel used is carefully selected to be both ‘soft’ and the material used thick enough that it doesn’t ring substantially and therefore doesn’t need filling (adding mass invariably ruins the timing of the low frequencies), which keeps the sound wonderfully open and fast.
These are stunningly good stands, and not just considering their low price, they are capable of exploiting the strengths of almost anything you place on top of them, from budget speakers to many hi end mini monitors.
The top size is approximately 15cm wide by 17cm deep and we recommend using small pea sized pieces of blu tack to mount the speakers onto the stands for best performance.
They are available in Black and Silver finishes (Silver whilst stocks last).
Something Solid SL24 speaker stands: £130 per pair
The stands even allow for the cable to be run discretely inside them, as pictured below.
Something Solid XF mkII
The XF is the current top of the range speaker stand from Something Solid. These
stands are made solid steel bar (not hollow tube), all welded to ensure absolute
rigidity. Carbon Fibre pucks are fitted to the top to support the speakers, although
a little blu-
Its foolish to say that any speaker stand is the best for every system but I have yet to find a speaker that doesn’t work on them. Loudspeakers that sounded congested and ill defined before will come to life, sounding quicker and much less coloured. Even though this stand is a relatively low mass design it seems to rewrite the rules as it even works under speakers that were intended to be used with lead filled behemoths!
These stands are made to order as the height, top width and top depth can be specified to ensure a perfect match with your loudspeakers (almost any speaker can be catered for). They are available in a Black powder coated finish as standard, other finishes may be possible but will cost extra (please call for details).
Special versions with inset rear outriggers for speakers that are intended to be used in corners (such as the larger Audio Note models) are available for no extra charge.
Prices are calculated with the following simple sum: Add the width, depth and height of stand required in cm together and add 135 to get the total price per pair including vat.
As an example, for the average sized stand mount speaker (in this case the ProAc Studio 100) you’d use the following figures:
Width: 20 (cm) + Depth: 24 (cm) + Height required: 60 (cm) + £135 = £239 total inc vat per pair.
Please note that if the height exceeds 70cm an optional side brace can be requested, this adds £15 per pair of stands.
If the height exceeds 100cm (as they can do in some studio applications) additional bottom bars are required and add £30.
The most popular sizes ordered include designs for the following loudspeakers: Harbeth Compact 7/Super HL5/P3, Proac Tablette/Response series/Studio 100/110/115, ATC SCM20/SCM50/100, Audio Note E/J, LS3/5a, Yamaha NS1000 and many more.
