Audioengine DS2 Desktop Speaker Stands – Silicone Rubber Isolation Stands

When setting up a Near Field Speaker setup, placement is everything. My new home office is a small 40 in x 20 in desk, 29 in tall, and the my Audio Engine P4 speakers are on either side of my MacBook. My old desk was a 60 in by 30 in desk, 36 in tall. The old setup had the speakers 7 inches higher, and the front of the speakers were almost twice as far away from where I sit (24 inches vs. around 12 now.) The new desk dropped the speakers much lower, and were much closer, so the sound field was much smaller and more difficult to optimize. My goal was to recreate an audiophile type near field monitor setup at a reasonable price using my existing AudioEngine P4s, but with a smaller (in size) amp at my smaller home office desk setup. In the new setup, before I used these stands, I had my speakers tilted a couple of degrees using a small rubber pad on the front. When I switched over to the stands, the speakers instantly created an immersive sound field that enveloped my sitting space. I was so surprised, I had my wife come test to confirm I wasn't just crazy. She said as she was sitting down in the chair she could "feel" the sound change as she settled into the chair within the sweet spot of the sound field. The sound field's sweet spot literally emerged within a few inches. Standing behind the chair is a different experience than sitting in it. An unexpected benefit is that I am running my speakers with a bit less volume from the amp to create the same level of sound. This is great in our small condo, as my wife can't hear my music near as much now at her office setup in the kitchen 20 feet away. FYI - I am using these stands with 5+ year old AudioEngine P4s, a brand new AudioEngine N22 Amp (small enough for my new desk), and an IFI Uno DAC, plus an old subwoofer I had laying around tucked in the corner of the room. The entire setup cost less than $550, and it is astounding. Most of my listening is Amazon Music Unlimited or Apple Music via the DAC. (Note - I am SUPER happy with the new N22 Amp. Even though it is rated at 25 WPC, I am getting MORE than enough volume to make me happy, and my wife occasionally perturbed - grin). Couldn't be happier with with the speaker stands.

Good construction. Soft plastic/rubber material that, in an audio studio w/o a mosh pit, should stand up to anything that is in there. These will pretty much outlast you, so make sure they are in your will. I could tell my bass response was MUCH better as soon as I put in my reference CD. I happen to use Rush, Roll the Bones - it's sonic quality is easy to 'tune' speakers for my ear (make sure you find a song that you can go to every time YOU get behind new monitors!) in my opinion. MUCH more Getty in every song which was nice of course. Other than that, it's just hard to imagine why these were so much money for what they are but in the end, they ARE one of the cheapest monitor stands that I found. I would imagine most Mfr costs are involved in transportation from China to US. In the end - YES, would recommend them to my BFF.

I recently purchased this as a replacement for the stands I bought roughly 15 years ago. The actual fit, look, and functionality are great. However I'm taking off one star as the original ones kind of... crumbled? There's no reason these stands should be that brittle if they are rubber and sitting in a home with air conditioning, even 15 years later.

I didn't end up using these as speaker stands. Not bc there was an issue with them but my speakers actually came with their own. However, after sitting in the box for a long time it occurred to me to try them as a tablet stand for my desk. They are perfect if you use a tablet with a pen. The angle is right on the money to comfortably write, and the bottom lip works great as palm rest. I have one in my home office with my iPad mini and the other at work that I use with my iPad Air. Now with the Air the tablet hangs over the top a lot so if you put pressure there it will tilt, but light pressure is fine. Also, for writing it's still not an issue bc the pressure of my writs and arm offsets any pressure at the top with the Apple Pencil. I'm now considering of doing some modifications to add in a charging solution. I tried some of the more expensive adjustable stands. They are cool and all but I prefer a fixed solution bc note taking is the primary focus.

I've got a pair of M-Audio AV40 monitors sitting on my desk, and these work perfectly. They're not the same width as the AV-40; you have maybe an inch of speaker hanging over each side, but they look perfectly fine like that. They aim the monitors up and at my head, but keep them lower so they're not hitting my monitor, so they work fine for me. Maybe they're slightly overpriced, and I could have made something out of wood from Home Depot, but I'm an idiot and probably would have cut off one of my fingers with a table saw - that clock I had to make in 8th grade shop class looked like a Salvador Dali masterpiece, so I'd rather spend a few bucks and get something that looks modern and nice, which these do.

Needed to give my TV Sound Bar a slight angled / wedged directional lift instead of sitting flat on tv stand. Wanted to make sure it wouldn’t slide when angled and in use. After researching online I found these beauty’s, perfect sized angled wedge affect lift with a front notch to secure my bar from sliding forward. Both units are all one piece heavy silicone offering excellent vibration dampening and sturdiness to support my sound bar. These also offered me a satisfying appearance for what I wanted to accomplish. Would Highly Recommend…..

These worked great for about 6 years until one of them collapsed for no apparent reason. One day my left speaker just started slowly sliding off the back of the stand. Luckily I was working at the time and managed to catch it, otherwise it would have fallen off of my desk. It turns out the back of the speaker stand just tore off under the weight of the speaker. I only ever used these stands on my desk in a climate controlled environment with a pair of small, lightweight, passive 3.5" Micca speakers. I imagine this would have happened even even sooner with a larger pair of powered studio monitors. Aside from the disappointing build quality, they look nice and angle the speakers perfectly on my desk for optimal sound quality. If you're concerned about your speakers possibly falling off the back of your desk, you may want consider replacing them every 3-5 years or so to mitigate the risk or perhaps reinforcing the stands with some epoxy or fiberglass on the bottom side.

I have the Audioengine 5+ speakers and really enjoy them. Rather than place them on my desktop, I put them on top of foam yoga blocks, which raised the tweeters to my ear level. I thought this sounded pretty good. A few months ago, I added a subwoofer, and listened carefully. I was getting some 'boom' in the bass, which bothered me. I realized that the woofers were radiating off the desktop causing doubling, which became pronounced when I added the subwoofer. I checked into the design of these stands and see that they are angled upward, causing the woofers to point upwards, away from the desk surface. Wow. what an improvement! Bass is now very solid and natural without the boom-iness. The stands are almost invisible under the speakers, making them look like they are floating above the desk. OK, they are expensive for what they are, but considering your investment in music and equipment, another $34 is not going to break the bank. And believe me, they do have a positive impact on the sound. Highly recommended for the Audioengine 5+'s.

I like that the stands will last because of the silicon from which they are made as well the improved sound quality from my speakers they provide.

Ottimo oggetto, consigliato a chi potrebbe averne bisogno.

hey lift my speakers to the perfect height, improving sound clarity and reducing vibrations. The build quality is excellent, and they hold my speakers securely in place. These stands not only enhance audio performance but also look great on my desk. Highly recommended!

Excellent product. I have used them with small floor standing speakers.
