Surround speakers often end up on shelves or the floor, where their output points away from your ears. The PERLESMITH Universal Floor Speaker Stands pair lifts satellite or bookshelf models to floor-standing height and lets you aim them. With a 22-pound rating, they suit most compact surrounds, including models from Klipsch, Sony, Bose, Vizio, Samsung, Yamaha, Edifier and Polk. We'd consider them a practical upgrade for a surround room where your speakers currently sit at the wrong height.
The current price is $62.98, compared with a typical $75.76 over the last 90 days. The saving is modest, so the useful parts here are the angle adjustment and the cable path rather than the discount itself.
The connection and placement choices these stands raise
Speaker cable runs through the 28-inch post assembly, which has a 1.57-inch by 0.79-inch opening, so wires stay out of sight on the way to your receiver or amplifier. That matters if your surround runs cross a visible wall or floor. At the top, the glass plate tilts up to 45 degrees, letting you point each speaker toward the listening seat instead of straight ahead.
The base is an 11.81-inch glass plate, and the stands include rubber isolation pads plus metal and rubber feet. The pads sit between the speaker and the plate, while the feet let you choose a surface-appropriate footing for carpet or tile. Assembly is tool-free in four steps, though you'll still need to decide where each stand sits before you run cable.
From source to room
A pair suits a living room or dedicated theater where surrounds currently sit on furniture or the floor and you want them at a consistent height. The 45-degree tilt helps if your seating is close to the side walls. The cable channel keeps the run tidy if the stands sit away from an outlet or receiver.
Skip these if your speakers weigh more than 22 lbs each or have a footprint wider than the 7.8-inch square plate. Before buying, measure your speaker's base and weight, confirm the top plate will support it, and check that your cable fits through the 1.57-inch by 0.79-inch opening. Also verify the stand height works with your seated ear level, since the post is fixed at 28 inches.
Our take: a sensible pick for light surround speakers when you want angle control and hidden cable at $62.98.
Not for heavy bookshelf models or wide speakers that exceed the 7.8-inch plate.
