Why? In short, speaker stands will isolate your speakers from unwanted vibrations and also lessen sound deflection. They will also allow you to position and angle the speakers just right for you to hit that sweet spot.
Budget
Most audio emporiums will usually have the appropriate stands to go with any of the speakers available. So, do take the expense as part of the package. It is a necessary component.
Make no mistake, the type of stands will affect the sound quality of your system. The listening experience is enhanced when the speakers are elevated to the correct ear height. Having them away from the floor and other furniture will also lessen unwanted echoes and distortion that can cause the system to sound muddy and lazy.
Dimensions
Also bear in mind the stands weight capacity. If you have heavy duty beasts pumping your tunes, then sturdier stand are in order. The last thing you want are the stands collapsing and damaging your precious equipment.
This is of utmost importance if you have pets or small children. Look for stands with a wide base and sturdy construction to prevent wobbling or tipping. Smaller speakers may then require heavier stands and it may be prudent to get those which allow them to be filled with sand or lead. This extra weight will provide the added stability. Also consider the flooring and whether you need spikes for carpet or rubber feet for hardwood floors.
Spikes are an essential component of speakers stands. Many, if not most, will have them as a removable accessory to facilitate use of hard surfaces as spikes are meant for carpets. They will provide additional stability and remove unwanted vibrations.
Top plate dimensions
If you have plans to keep the stands even after changing your speakers, then it may be worthwhile to consider a wider top plate to accommodate larger units. In the same way, speakers with adjustable height feature may be the way to go.
Of course, this matters. The last thing you would want are stands that clash with everything in the room. But most have a neutral look with black being the preferred finish on most. Some Hi-Fi enthusiasts may want wood to complement the existing decor but do bear in mind, whatever the choice, factor in the cleaning process. Regular dusting is required to avoid these stands from becoming dustraps with cobwebs draped all over them.
Whichever route you do decide to take, due diligence with open ears is a must. Audition whenever possible and choose the best option your budget will allow. If music and audio is your thing, it will be worthwhile investment.
