Kanto S2 Tilted Desktop Speaker Stands for Small Speakers & Compact 2”-3” Studio Monitors | Supports 6 lbs | Damping Foam Padding | Pair | Black

Great quality, small size, clean. Holds my YU2’s perfect.

Great stands. Highly recommend.

Stands look great, add little height, add vibration isolation, and arrange your speakers toward your ears providing better projection vs laying flat.

These look great with the Edifier M60. Improved sound and much better than the included stands.

I have a pair of M-Audio AV40 studio monitors. I'm no producer; I just wanted a pair of really nice-sounding speakers for my PC. I had been propping them up at an angle using a couple pieces of styrofoam that I cut out of a dry ice cooler. With money burning a hole in my pocket, I started looking around Amazon for something that I could use to do the job a little bit more elegantly. I was also having trouble with the styrofoam sliding around on my desk, and not propping both speakers up at the same angle, etc.I found a lot of very expensive floor stands, I found a few desk stands that were too tall, I found professional foam isolating pads that would angle the speakers at around 10-12 degrees (not enough)... and then I found these. They're small and understated, they come in black so that they match the rest of my desk setup, and they angle up at 16 degrees. I grabbed a ruler, measured a right triangle with a base of 7" and a height of 2" between my speakers and the styrofoam blocks, brushed off my trigonometry, did the inverse tangent of 2/7, and got... just about 16 degrees. (Who says you never use math in your everyday life?) Perfect!The only issue I saw ahead of time is that the AV40s have a larger footprint than these stands. That actually has not proven to be an issue; the speakers dwarf the stands, but they still fit and are plenty stable. The real issue is that the stands flexed under the weight of the speakers. I read "Solid aluminum structure" under the list of features and figured they'd be pretty sturdy. The fact that they flexed a little bit means that the speakers are not propped up at the full 16 degrees, so they're angled just a little bit lower than I'd like. But, I was able to slide them further back on my desk, and now I'm pretty close to the ideal studio monitor equilateral triangle setup. And hey, I can always slide some cardboard under the front to prop them up a bit more.Summary:* Better than blocks of styrofoam.* Nice looking, minimal, understated, and other such adjectives.* If you have larger and/or heavier speakers, they may not deliver on the 16 degree angle advertised.

My TV soundbar sits on a shelf below my TV and it pointed at knees. Using these 2 small stands under my soundbar pointed the sound at my ears and now while I watch the TV the sound comes from the middle of the TV. When TV character speak the sound comes directly from them. Overall a better experience and sound clarity. These were a great upgrade to my soundbar.

They work great and keep the speakers pointed towards your ears for better sound.

Extremely solid speaker stands made of some type of metal. $30 is a bit pricey but I didn’t want the 3rd party ones because they print their logo on them while these are simply plain.
