Audio visual enthusiasts know that getting the right stand for their speakers can be as important as getting the right speaker. Speakers are not designed to transmit sound through stands so stands need to be sturdy. A good stand should isolate the speaker from the floor and the floor from the speaker.

Furthermore, the added rigidness that spikes provide will help the performance of the woofer However, floor-standing speakers should not use spikes unless necessary. Spikes (or any other rigid floor coupling) increase the amount of vibration transferred between the floor and cabinet in both directions.

Speaker stands should also be stable for more practical purposes: speakers are expensive and if you have children or animals running around, you do not want your speakers to fall off and break. Speakers stands should have some mass to them as a high-mass stand will stop your speakers from moving unnecessarily. Ideally, the stand should bring the speaker’s tweeter to ear level.
