Wharfedale ST-3

The top plate measures 5.7 inches wide by 12 inches deep. As long as your speaker's footprint is similar or slightly larger, these stands will provide a stable base, though you should ensure your speaker's center of gravity remains secure.

By decoupling your speakers from the floor or furniture, these stands minimize unwanted vibrations and resonance. This isolation allows your speakers to produce tighter bass and clearer midrange frequencies without the muddiness caused by surface interference.

The integrated slots are designed to accommodate standard-gauge speaker wire and most common interconnects. If you are using exceptionally thick, braided audiophile cables, you may want to double-check their diameter against the slot width before purchasing.

While the laser-cut stainless steel construction is inherently rigid and stable, the design does not explicitly require filling. However, some audiophiles prefer to add mass to hollow-pillar stands to further dampen resonance, though it is entirely optional with the ST-3.

The ST-3 stands come with floor spikes or feet designed for stability on carpet or hard floors. While they provide a solid foundation, they do not feature micro-adjustment leveling, so ensure your floor surface is relatively flat.
