IsoAcoustics Aperta Speaker Stands
Crutchfield customer from North Branch, MN on 3/1/2021
I have these set on a hardwood floor underneath a pair of KEF Q350's. I set them at a 4 degree up-angle using the adjustable height screws cleverly hidden inside the front legs of the stand, which are accessible when you pull the stand apart. Theses stands are much lighter in weight than they appear and give an industrial look, as if the speaker is sitting on a suspension coil. Overall a great option to stay away from the "tower" look of most other bookshelf stand designs.

Very Nice
Crutchfield customer from Menomonee Falls, WI on 1/31/2021
Well designed and packaged. These stands work great and improved the sound by getting my bookshelf speakers off of the media table they were originally sitting on. No concerns about the speakers slipping off of the stands, even when tilting them on an upward or downward angle.
Pros: Work well and sturdy
Cons: Expensive for what they are

IsoAcoustics Aperta Speaker Stands
Crutchfield customer from Galveston, TX on 10/4/2020
I've used Gaia footers on the stereo REL 212 subs and Focal Nova Utopia main speakers in my media room with great results. I was hoping for similar benefits with my new KEF LS50W speakers on my desktop at work, and I'm not at all disappointed. The speakers disappear and present an even wider and deeper soundstage and they're amazing at baseline. Easy to set up and adjust. Highest recommendation.

Great speaker placement solution.
Timothy from St Charles, IL on 9/18/2020
Great stands! Perfect fit under my KEF LS50W really made a big difference get them of the surface they were on. The fact you can adjust them up and down in the front and they came in black had me buying them. Must have for some systems and helped complete mine.

IsoAcoustics Aperta Speaker Stands
Charles from New York, NY on 8/25/2020
It does what its supposed to do but the quality and workmanship are very poor; more in line with a <$50 product. Ridiculously poor for a product at this price. I feel a bit ripped off. I actually thought I had counterfeits until I watch some you-tube reviews. I should have watched those first. This has tuned me off of all IsoAcustics products. I was considering purchasing the Gaia isolation feet as part of an upgrade to my speakers but no chance now.
Pros: Exposes IsoAcustics as a ripoff company.
Cons: Very very poor workmanship. Quality to price ratio is very low.

surprising huge difference in the sound
Crutchfield customer from Tarrytown, NY on 8/4/2020
Well built and made a surprising huge difference in the sound of my Snell JIV speakers that I just restored.Bass tightened up and imaging and sound stage really widened and improved. The Snell's are a small floor standing speaker and the Aperta Model was just a bit too small so idid have to return them for two sets of the more expensive Gaia III's.As of this writing I am still tweaking the Gaia's to equal the sound of the Apertas which allowed me to tilt upward my speakers to achieve the sound I was looking for.I can highly recommend the Aperta stands. They are not just another"gimmick' to improve sound of your set up.They are the real deal. !!!!
Pros: well built, easy to adjust for height,dramatic improvement in sound!! excellent customer service too.
Cons: a little wobbly for floor standing speakers.

IsoAcoustics Aperta Speaker Stands
Crutchfield customer from Alexandria, VA on 1/11/2018
I have the IsoAcoustics L8R155 plastic stands for my desktop monitors, and got the Aperta for my living room towers because they have a slightly higher weight rating and I thought the (silver) aluminum would look sleek. I was wrong. Look closely at the photos before buying. The aluminum is a cheap-looking powder coat that is not at all representative of the price. The plastic isoacoustic stands look better to me and they have the benefit of providing two different heights, which the Aperta do not. For about half the price, honestly save your money and get the L8R155. Functionally the Aperta are great, but so are the plastic ones.

Skeptical and surprised
D from Indianapolis on 8/29/2017
Admittedly, I doubted how a thee (3) inch elevation and 2 degree forward tilt of my Focal 705s would enhance the midrange of my music; however, listening is believing. I not only heard more midrange instruments and subtle foot taps from live acoustic performances, but elevating the 705s also provided a more subtle and eloquent bass - no more muffled-shake-the-floor for my music. Sometimes hear subtleties I missed before, so listening experience is brand new and refreshing.
Pros: Great idea and design. Leave it to the Canadians, eh?
Cons: Way too pricey.

Good solution for my problem
Crutchfield customer from Wilmington, NC on 6/16/2017
Very practical solution for the problem (height of the speakers on my computer desk) with the added benefit of allowing the speakers to vibrate properly, enhancing the sound. They seem overpriced, but are well designed and easy to use.
Pros: good function
Cons: high price

I needed desktop speaker stands for my KEF X300A speakers and these are perfect! I prefer the aluminum to plastic and these are the perfect size for the KEF's. Highly recommended.
Pros: Build quality - all metal!

isoacoustics Aperta speaker stands
Alex from Hawaii on 1/10/2016
Having used several types of speaker isolation for stand mount monitor loudspeakers these are by far the most effective at absorbing unwanted resonance traveling from speaker through metal stands into the wooden floor in my application. The added feature of tilting forward or backwards is quite handy especially with high stands 28" in this case and larger than normal monitor loudspeakers 18 1/2 inches tall which I just purchased.
Pros: Aesthetically good looking, the ability to tilt the speakers forward or backwards, rubber mounting surfaces both top and bottom. Protects the bottom of the speaker from damage.
Cons: Since the speakers are essentially floating a bit they are not as stable as if one was to use say Blutak and adhere the speaker cabinet to the top of the stands, which BTW usually damages the underside of the speaker.
