KEF S2 (Open Box)

Solid and well-engineered; no problems with assembly or faults in workmanship. I was leery of attaching the speakers to the stands, but it make it easy to move them about, with the speaker less liable to topple. As for being top-heavy, it's only slightly; however, the footprint of the base is smaller than other stands I've owned. (In a move, I would transport them lying sideways, with or without the speaker attached.) The spikes are not very sharply pointed, for which I'm thankful. On my floor-an already rather scarred parquet in an old apartment building-they don't puncture the wood, and I'm able to safely move them about before putting the floor protectors in place.

Optional But Worth Getting

Easy to assemble and fit the LS50 Metas perfectly. They are heavy, especially when the speakers are attached but that's the point. I wish they weren't quite as expensive but I also feel that for the quality of the build they are worth the money.

Nice stands

KEF has created stands that complement the LS50 META speakers very nicely.The stands look good and are easy to put together. The washers that go with the screws to mount the speakers to the stand came with the speakers and not the stands, haha, I have misplaced them after several months of owning the speakers. I'm sure the height has been optimized in design, but a little more height may have been more desirable for my taste. I don't know what it cost to manufacture such a simple looking product, but in my opinion KEF has set quite a high price on them, I waited as long as practical for them to go on sale, but no such luck.

I can't imagine using a pair of LS50's on stands without being able to physically attach the speakers. While I found attaching the speakers "fiddly," I appreciate the cable routing, they're attractive, and the height was perfect.

Threading issues

Although these are high quality stands, KEF has serious quality control issues with the threading - spikes that screw into the base were impossible to thread without stripping. Crutchfield shipped me replacement bases and spikes and all worked perfectly.

Expensive but worth it.

Relatively easy to assemble. Quality materials and finish. Look great. Comes with plates with screws that go into bottom of the speaker holding them in place. Overall very satisfied.

Kef S2 stands are awesome!

I purchased these stands to mount my new Kef LS50 Wireless II speakers. The stands are gorgeous, well built, and really compliment these speakers. The wire management is clean, and the stands were easy to build. Like a lot of Kef products, they are relatively expensive, but they are top notch. I don't think they could have improved on these stands and I am very pleased with my purchase. Crutchfield has also been terrific to work with on all my purchases so far!

Easy and solid, but should include a radius foot

These are solid stands that are easily assembled (not much to it) and my LS50 Wireless II speakers easily mounted to them. The only way to make these better (and more user friendly) would be to include a foot with a radius on it for use on anything other than carpet. Eight small discs are included so that you can place the spiked foot into each disc. It works, but it is not the preferred method. It's especially difficult to do by yourself without inadvertently setting down or dragging the sharp spikes onto whatever surface you are trying not to damage. Need to move it a bit later on?...better find that helper again. Only have carpet?...then it's 5 stars all the way.

Perfect Fit with LS50 Meta's

Went from an inexpensive generic set of stands to the S2's. While a bit pricey, they are a perfect fit with the LS50 Meta's. Assembly and Installation was straightforward. No issues with threading (ref previous reviews). Recommend installing speakers upside down and then turning whole assembly over. Sound wise, noticed improvement in clarity and separation. Driver center location ended up being appx 1.% inches higher which also helped.

Well-Built KEF Stands

Very sturdy and well-built. I have owned KEF's LS50 Meta speakers for a little over a year, but had them sitting on my entertainment center. I wanted to move them off and onto stands to reduce unnecessary vibrations from the speakers - and these fit the bill. They are stable, the LS50 Meta speakers attach perfectly and easily onto the stands, and they have definitely improved the sound in my room. A great compliment to outstanding speakers.

KEF S2

First off I gotta say that Crutchfield is great and I always purchase from them. Great vendor with legendary customer service. The took my pair back with no return fee. That being said....Check paint. I ordered a grey pair and they had an awful paint job. Attached photo shows largest spot but when you are paying this much for a product you expect it to be premium. Check ALL paint before you start building because I found this after assembling one and it was a huge pain in the butt to disassemble and return. Premium prices need to provide a premium product. Felt pretty well built but the threading was atrocious. Kef needs to refine the tapping and painting process because the product I recieved was really not acceptable. It appeared that the threading was painted over. Maybe a bad batch but I have heard many many complaints about the threading on Kef speakers being poorly produced.

Very nice stands

Yes, they are expensive. But they look good, are well built and allow the engineering to work as it is supposed to (the front of an LS50 is rounded for a reason). And the cable guides are well designed. They might benefit from some fill to give them more heft, but I am using them without and they seem stable. Easy to assemble, but beware the threaded sockets for the feet, as other have said. I blew them out enthusiastically with compressed air if they showed signs of sticking. And, as always, shipping was great and the information on the Crutchfield site spot on. I'd like to say the imaging seems better, but that may be just confirmation bias!

You need them for your LS50 W IIs

If you bought the LS50 Wireless II speakers, you need to buy this pair of stands; it would be penny wise and pound foolish to do something else. They are beautiful and of course the same paint color as your speakers. They also have a very good cable channel for routing your cables. But I should point out that you are paying extra for the KEF name. Also, quality control is not all that it should be. There are supposed to be 8 steel washers; there were zero in my package. I had to run to the hardware store and spend $2.20 to get a set. But it's really the trouble and not the cost that's the issue.

Get these

With my LS50 speakers bolted securely to the S2 stands and 2 bags of inert material in each stand, the improvement in sound felt too good to be true. Images were beautifully defined and lambent, timbral accuracy was exactly as I remembered from the concert hall and a kind of ambiance overall that was most pleasing.

I purchased these stands for a pair of KEF Q350's. They are solid and hold firm, with or without filler. I like that they conceal the speaker cable within the stand making for a clean look.

Excellent, But.

First off, I went 2* to get your attention & save some heartache. These stands are excellent. Well finished, solid, look great. They are worth their money. But Beware the baseplate thread for the spikes. This is very poorly done and will cold weld if not careful. See the pic of how much debris came out of just One hole. If you don't have a thread cleaner tool (M8); lay the baselate on the bench threads up, so debris fall away from the thread. Screw in the spike till firm, not too firm, then back 1/2 turn to release the debris. Repeat. Reverse all the way out 2or3 times , clean the spike thread and empty debris out of thread hole. This SHOULD get you there. All this didn't on my first pair. 2 spikes cold welded. Crutchfield's awesome customer service saw a replacement pair stat. Same thread issues, I took it even easier this time. 20min to screw in 8 spikes is crappy, other than that the stands look & perform great!

Beautiful, but not the most stable

Well built and perfect match with the corresponding LS50 finishes. Downsides are that these stands are not particularly stable and are prone to tipping over, even when fully filled. There were also a few small blemishes in the finish. And the threading on one of the spiked feet was off, making it very hard to attach.

I demoed these stands with the ls50wii, i love the speakers so i got them, but cheaped out on the stands. I got a pair of $180 sanus stands and the bottom and top end of the sound was negatively affected, and didn't seem too sturdy. These s2 stands are rock solid without needing to fill! Cable management and ability to bolt down the speakers are a much welcome inclusion. You definitely get what you pay for and these are great!

Good option for the LS50W2s.

A very good fit for the LS50W2s. However, one of the screws took a crazy amount of effort to fit, as another reviewer also mentioned. Once set up, they are easy to move around with speaker on top to get the right placement. Cable management system tidies things up out back as well.

Worth every dollar

I've owned at least 10 different sets of speaker stands. Some more expensive, some less. The S2's are the best - best designed, best manufactured and best looking. Using with LS50 Meta's. If you're wondering if they're worth the money, they are.

Wrong stands for R3

On KEF's website it shows these stands to be an accessory to the R'3's, They are not, When you speak to KEF Store USA, they suggest using museum wax as a temporary fix to mount the speakers. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not going to trust museum wax to hold my speakers in place. The mounting brackets are too small to modify, and the mounting bolts are the wrong size also. I really enjoy the sound of the R3's, but these stands will not work unless you get a machine shop or a buddy who has access to one, to manufacture one.

Outstanding Speaker Stands for KEF Meta Speakers

Great stands, totally recommend these stands which are a perfect fit and hight for the KEF Meta Speakers! Since the stands are hollow I also added the inert stand filler which prevents the stands from vibrating and could not have been happier with these.

Solid, but expensive, speaker stands tailor-made for Metas

These are quality stands. They look great, match the speakers, have an area to put deadening material, offer a hidden wire channel, & most importantly bolt up to the Metas. Yes, they are ridiculously expensive.

KEF S2

It's a speaker stand that matches the look and finish of the LS50W2. It's way too expsensive for what it is but judging by the demand, KEF has no problem selling them. The fit and finish is good. The discs for the hardwood floors are not fixed to the legs but rather sit on top of the spikes for the carpet without any way to fix it in place. Odd design but maybe there is something to it... Well it rounds out my new sound system with the KC62s in white as well. Sounds awesome and looks sleek.

KEF S2-worth the money

These are high quality stands, worth the cost because of the high build quality and the perfect match with the KEF LS50 Wireless II speakers. The positives: they look great and match perfectly with the speakers. They are solid/hefty, and have a great finish. They have internal wire/cable management, which works well. Unlike cheaper brands, they also have screws to secure the speakers to the top plate, and they of course fit perfectly because they're the same brand. The pillars are hollow and can be filled with sand or other inert substance to reduce vibration. I am giving these five stars but they aren't perfect; I have a couple very minor complaints. First, attaching the plates to the pillar was harder than it should have been. I'm not sure if the threading on the screws was off slightly or what, but I had to almost fully install each screw without the plate on, then back them out and do it again with the plate in place. It ended up working, but for stands this expensive it should not have been an issue. Second, this is more of a personal preference issue, but I am not a big fan of the pads for use on hardwood floors. They feet are pointy for use on carpet, but rest on small support pads for hardwood. While they look nice, make the speaker very difficult to move around easily. Again, those are minor issues--these stands are solid, look great, match perfectly, five stars overall. Once you've invested in the speakers, get the stands to match!

Sturdy stands with integrated cable channel. Can be optionally filled with sand or other vibration absorbing and mass loading material. I would have preferred stands with three or 4 legs whose top plate mates with the KEF screw holes.
