Wharfedale ST-1 Stands

The ST-1 top plate measures 6 inches wide by 11.5 inches deep. As long as your speaker's footprint is equal to or slightly larger than these dimensions, the stands will provide a stable foundation.

Aluminum is chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity. It effectively minimizes unwanted vibrations and resonance, which helps keep your bass response tight and prevents the coloration of sound often found in less stable materials.

A 22-inch height is generally ideal for bookshelf speakers when you are seated, as it places the tweeter at or near ear level. We recommend measuring from the floor to your ear while seated to ensure this height aligns with your specific furniture.

The ST-1 stands are designed with a stable base, but you should check the included hardware package for floor-protecting feet or spikes. If you are placing these on hardwood or tile, we recommend using felt pads or the included protective feet to prevent scratching.

The ST-1 is engineered as a lightweight, rigid aluminum structure. They are not designed to be filled with sand or lead shot, as their stability is derived from the structural integrity of the aluminum frame rather than mass-loading.
