Speaker stands

Doesn't quite cut it, allowing too much flabby bass to come through

Excellent stands that will permit your kit to perform at its best

We like these: they allow your speakers to do their job

Decent, well-finished stands, but you can do better

Allow your speakers to sound vibrant, transparent and rhythmical

There's no denying that these Quadraspire stands are left of field in terms of looks, but they're admirable and detailed performers too

Best speaker stands, Awards 2010. Delicate in comparison with most Partington stands, the ANSA 60s are simply awesome for the money

Designed to work with the Q Acoustics 2000 series speaker package, these stands are sturdy enough, but could do with more bass clout

They look stylish and assured, but these Optimum stands have a presentation that's thin and two-dimensional

These Apollo stands are chunky and well-focused performers, that offer much for the money
