S4 Tilted Desktop Speaker Stands for Medium Bookshelf Speakers & Mid-Size 3”-4” Studio Monitors | Supports 8 lbs | Damping Foam Padding | ¼”-20 Mounting | Pair | White

I own (2) pairs of these for my (2) desk setups. They are fantastic. They are very heavy and sturdy and do not move even when I accidentally pull the cord with my foot. They also do not move when moving my pc stand setup that is on wheels for easy maintenance. If I spin the pc stand around and accidentally pull too hard on the speaker wire it doesn't normally yank the speakers off the desk. I have my sit/stand desks about 20 inches from the wall mounted monitors. There is plenty of space for the speakers to be yanked off into that big opening but it never does. It never does because the stand is made of exotic super metal from space formed in the heart of a dying star and can only be lifted by the worthy (joking but it seems that way). They are not cheap but you get what you pay for. If you want some stands that are: -incredibly durable and sturdy -give you that upward cant, to align the voice coils of the tweeter and mid woofer so sounds of the full audio spectrum reach your ear at the same time (time correction), and reduce sounds bouncing off the desk causing smearing and excessive bass at only a few frequencies overwhelming the fidelity These are what you need. If you have expensive speakers that have active circuitry in them that time align the tweeter and woofer then I have no idea if canting upwards would make your speakers sound worse or not. Either way, these speaker stands are great!

As do several other reviewers, I have a set of the KEF LSX II LT speakers on my desktop. They are great little speakers, nearly perfect due to their concentric drivers for a small nearfield system. The main thing missing is a way to properly support and position them, which these Kanto S4 stands do incredibly well. Again, as others have mentioned, they seem designed specifically for these speakers (though they should work well with other similar sized desktop speakers, which there are quite a few of) with the 1/4" mount holes lined up perfectly for the LSX II and LT. The angle is just about perfect for a typical person at a desk so that the speakers are aimed at your ears. The improvement in imaging alone from this is huge. It's hard to imagine the KEF stands, at 6x the price, being worth the extra. One of the best small audio accessory purchases I've made, of quite a few in my lifetime.

I have a pair of medium-sized Edifier speakers that don't need stands because they have rubber feet that protect the desktop, but I'd read that using stands with a slight tilt would improve sound, so I decided to buy the Kanto stands and try them out. I've used Kanto stands for smaller speakers, but I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy they are; the Edifier speakers are pretty hefty, but the stands support them easily. They are also attractive; they match the speakers quite well. These were a good value for the money.

Item works as intended and the build quality feels sturdy. The speaker stands support my KEF LSX II LT speakers.

I bought a set in white, and overall, they are fantastic. I'd definitely recommend them. I only knocked them down a star because of a small patch of chipped off paint that is right on the front lip of one stand so it's visible...which is a bit ironic given that they came individually wrapped in plastic and then further packaged in a very nice (but honestly unnecessary) cloth bag that was probably used to denote quality. The very protective packaging makes me think that the chip was there before they ever got packaged, and that's why I docked them a star. Functionally, they're 10 stars all the way. Aesthetically, they'd be the same if not for that chip. That small blemish aside, these truly are wonderful stands. I mean, in pretty much every way. The aluminum is sturdy and very well made, the padding is uniform and applied perfectly (no misalignment at all), and with the exception of the one chip on mine, the paint is beautifully well done. They hold my powered monitors without any signs of flexing - just rock solid. I was originally looking at the S2 model because they are less expensive, but I'm really glad that I got the S4. With my speakers, the S4 are just perfect fits and definitely worth the cost. The angle is also great for me. I bet that I could exchange them without a problem to get a set without a chip, but it's not a big enough issue for me to go through that. I just think that they should inspect the stands better (or, if they knew the chip was there, don't ship products like that).

For the price these seem well built. No paint or QC issues on mine. Look great with the KEF speakers.

I purchased these because I was able to get the Ora4 desktop speakers on a great sale, and had some wiggle room in the budget. I'm not sure if I notice a huge difference as far as the audio quality with them angled vs sitting flat, but they do look great when paired with the Moon colored speakers, and are very good quality. I couldn't get the metal to compress with force at all, so I know these will last me a long time.

Solid stands with anti slip base, for those who are wondering the top plate fits the Kef LSX II LTs perfectly and the screw holes line up.
