Feels solid and substantial. When used with the A2's, makes an outstanding speaker system even more so. Noticeable difference in definition. The angle aims the speakers towards your ears when you're sitting at your desk. And makes the speakers better able to fill a small room when you crank up the volume.

Perfectly match the Audioengine A2 speakers.

A little while ago, I purchased a pair of AudioEngine A2 speakers for my
desktop computer. I took out an old pair of bookshelf speaker stands and put
them on either side of my desk so that I wouldn't have to take up valuable space
with these speakers.

The one downside of it all was that the A2s didn't meet my ears... that means
everything was very slightly dull. I noticed a subtle difference whenever I would
hunch over to put my ears in the tweeter's path when compared to simply sitting
up above.

This product is a great way to fix the problem of not being right in the tweeter
sweetspot. They seem to be quite stable as well, even on my current stands.
The only down side is that these make my Audioengine A2s look a bit awkward
by being on top of DS1 stands that are on top of bookshelf speaker stands. I
can deal with the awkwardness, however, because hte sound is subtly
improved.

Improvements:
(All improvements are verrry slight, but noticeable if you listen closely. Keep in
mind that these improvements are only if the speakers didn't actually hit your
ears before the DS1 stands. If you were already in the sweetspot all along, you
won't really notice any change at all)

- Small improvement in stereo imaging
- improvement in trebles
- very small improvement in bass definition (Might just be me though)

Overall, I'm quite happy with these angled stands.
