With its all-steel construction and advanced feature set, Pangea Audio's DS200 is the perfect speaker stand for a wide range of monitors and bookshelf speakers, especially those on the heavier side.
It includes integral cable management, adjustable carpet-piercing spikes, rubberized speaker support pads, and sand-fillable support piers. Many manufacturers make their speaker stands out of wood, because wood is inexpensive and easy to work with. But wood has poor acoustic properties.
It absorbs and stores vibration energy before slowly releasing it and muddying the sound coming from the speakers. Although it costs more to use, steel is a far better material for speaker stands. Steel doesn't 'hang onto' energy like wood.
And it releases vibration very quickly. A well-designed all-steel stand like the DS200 solidly supports your speaker while improving image focus, reducing mid-range coloration, and tightening the bass performance. Nuts, bolts, spikes, and other hardware hold a stand together and make it perform optimally.
Many manufacturers use columns and steel plates, but then couple them with cheap hardware that undermines the performance of the assembled stand. The DS200 uses a total of four heavy-duty, large-diameter bolts to rigidly couple each of the piers to the top plate and the bottom plate.
