Kanto SP26PL Black Metal Speaker Stand (26 inches) - Universal Fit, Hidden Cables, Rotating Top Plate, Carpet & Hardwood Feet, ¼’-20 Mounting, Pair

I have a pair of KEF LSX speakers and need speaker stands. Hi first looked at the KEF LSX S1 speaker stands, but they were $350 which really didn’t make much sense. Furthermore, it felt over designed. So I took a look at the Kanto SP26. They are almost the same height as the S1s so height is fine. These were less than half the price so I didn’t expect much. But when I received them, I was very pleasantly surprised. These stands weight 33+ pounds. Extremely solidly built. Construction is excellent. When I opened the box, the packing was as nice as Apple iPhone packaging. Super simple design. Good workmanship (Made in China). It came with a smaller pair and a larger pair of speaker platforms. Unfortunately, both were too big for the LSX speakers. But I was able to remove the speaker connector from one of the platforms and screw the connector directly onto the speaker. Then I was able to screw that price onto the stand. And it worked!!! So yes. This stand works with the KEF LSX speakers with a minor modification. I would highly recommend it as an alternative to buying the $350 S1 stands. The SP26 actually looks better in my opinion. Much more simple and clean.

This is a minimalist sturdy stand; very sleek snd simple. I assembled it in less than 30 minutes. Yes, the stands can be filled and should be, imho. It's not about sturdiness, it's about resonance. When the stands are not filled there is a hollow ringing sound when you tap them. Once they are filled, the ringing sound becomes a dead thud. Just run the speaker wire first, then reinforce the bottom of the narrow bags the stands are wrapped in with strapping/packing tape Then insert the bags the into the stands. Push the bag down the tube gently with a yardstick or something similar. Fill with sand or cat litter 3/4 of the way up and close securely with a twist tie.

These stands exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with my purchase. The look great and feel solid & very sturdy. The bottom steel base has some good weight to it, and including both spiked feet and rubber ones is a huge plus. I’m using Polk LSiM703’s which are pretty large bookshelf speakers. They weigh 29.6 lbs. each, so I was a little worried with the weight limit on these stands being 30 lbs. but they worked out perfectly. They also sound better now and look great. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of speaker stands and I highly recommend these Kanto SP26 stands to anyone looking to get the most out of their speakers. Thanks!

You can shop endlessly on Amazon for speaker stands and the prices are all over the place. These Kantos are steel and have a slim plate for weight in the base that you would never suspect is there. Great for the Polk Audio Reserve R200 bookshelf speakers. These are amazing sounding speakers but need to be up and away from the walls. The Kanto SP26PL stands do a perfect job of getting the speakers up to ear level in my listening room. They have a black finish that disappears into my room's medium blue walls so they dont stand out.You will be more than happy with these stands. Easy recommendation to Buy! Enjoy! =)

my original stands i purchased had become an atrocious eyesore after 20 arduous years of multiple moves and living near the ocean with salt water mists entering my audio room...these kanto sp26 clicked the boxes i was looking to achieve...26 to 28” tall so my tweeters fall within ear level on my couch...the foam padding on the stand top is an improvement to your typical adhesive rubber squares that lie on each corner...the rotating axis allows you to hit that sweet spot when dealing with room acoustics in a simpler manner than picking up the entire base and repositioning...i didnt have enough cable but the option to run it through the slots helps tidy the appearance of unsightly wires, but just make sure you are not running super low gauge or have bulky jacketed runs cause its most likely gonna be a tight squeeze...these are sturdy enough for me but i am sure an ambitious audiophile would mess around with filling these up with sand or something similar...currently have the larger plate installed with a speaker that weighs 21 pounds and has a depth of 11.4 inches with zero issues...the overall aesthetics are up my alley...very svelte, decent finish with a minimalistic aura...the stands are present and noticeable but do a good job of staying out of the way so if you have a elegant or flashy speaker design, the attention will transition to that instead...in the end, a great alternative to those with a small speaker you care enough about to properly set up, but do not want to pay the cost for the audiophile brands stand mount...

My experience with these speaker stand has been nothing but positive. I received the item well packaged, had to open three boxes to get to the actual item. LOL.I used these stands with a pair of q acoustics 3020i bookshelf speakers. They fit perfectly on the top plate. Assembly of the stand was pretty standard. Instructions were clear and all the stuff you need is included in the packaging, no need to use other tools. It's really sturdy, the heavy plate you screw to the base makes it really sturdy. I was also able to hide the wiring, which makes for a really clean setup. I highly recommend this if you have similar sized speakers.

1. Sturdy construction2. Excellent instructions with easy tools and assembly3. Like that it custom fits to Kanto's speakers with the screw that holds the speaker secure4. Like that the stand top moves to get the proper angle5. Heavy , not flimsy solid will not move6. Feet for carpet and wood floors7. Not inexpensive but you get a lot of additional features that are good to have in a quality speaker stand
