Solidsteel SS-5 Speaker Stands

The SS-5 features a 7.5 x 7.5-inch top plate, which is ideal for most standard bookshelf and monitor speakers. We recommend measuring the footprint of your specific speakers to ensure they don't overhang significantly, which could compromise stability.

Yes, the tubular supports are fillable. Adding sand or lead shot is a common practice that adds mass, further dampening resonance and providing a more solid foundation for your speakers.

The stainless steel spikes are designed to pierce through carpet to reach the subfloor for maximum stability. If you are placing these on hardwood or tile, we strongly recommend using floor protectors or coasters to prevent the spikes from scratching your flooring.

The tripod design is inherently stable and less prone to wobbling on uneven surfaces. By minimizing the contact points with the floor, it also helps reduce the transmission of vibrations, leading to a cleaner, more precise soundstage.

Yes, some assembly is required. The stands arrive in pieces, but the process is straightforward and typically involves securing the tripod frame to the base and top plate.

MDF is an excellent material for speaker stands because it is acoustically inert. Unlike metal, which can ring or vibrate, MDF helps dampen unwanted energy and resonance, ensuring the sound you hear comes from the speaker drivers rather than the stand itself.
