A stand is used to conveniently and neatly store your belongings. Today, the dynamics of the home and office have changed so much that where there was the need for only one stand earlier, now many more are needed.
There are stands for books, hi-fi systems, music systems, DVD players, video players, speakers, TVs, digital players, amplifiers and CD players. With so much time and money being invested in equipment, it is only natural that some homework and understanding is extended towards the stands holding the equipment.
Hi-fi stands can be found in different materials like wood, steel, glass and plastic. Besides the quality, they come in different dimensions to suit specific purposes. Another factor to be considered is the colour. Stylish steel adds a touch of contemporary chic, while wood comes in many varieties. Wooden stands can be used for their strength, rigidity and appearance with particle board, plywood, hardwoods and lacquer all available. Wood also offers a choice of colours including light brown, dark brown, natural, black and white. Some woods can even be powder coated. Metallic steel hi-fi stands are strong, low maintenance and ergonomically designed with a modern look.
Stands can be mounted on walls, made as platforms or even turned into fixed or flexible trolleys. They come with adjustable height options to suit space and décor. Often stands may have a swivel option with steel bearings to offer 360 degree rotation. Most stands are bought in flat pack boxes ready to be assembled.
Some branded stands may come with the equipment since they can be tailored to the equipment’s specific needs with for example concealed wire paths, carpet spikes, rubber bottom pads or bump-ons and spiked feet. Surprisingly, when the speaker stands have carpet spikes, the stability improves the sound performance of the speakers. So it is important to invest in a good hi-fi stand that can unleash the full potential of your hi-fi.
