This popped up on my feed literally the day after I got new stands for my monitors after having them on the desk for so long. I can confirm you're spot on - the difference has been instantly noticeable, on some songs I've been listening to on spotify instruments are a lot more defined and the bass is more pronounced.

The important advice at the end is amazing. Thank you for mentioning that! Also - Fully 100% totally agree!

Ok, I finally got some stands after watching this video for my Kali LP6 monitors. I went with the Ultimate Support stands in 36" and I cant not believe how much better my setup sounds. The stands were a bit expesive, almost as much as my monitors but the difference is night and day. Worth every penny!

Loooooove the look of your studio! So clean and streamlined!

Useful video, thanks Sanjay, well explained and presented in your usual warm and pleasant style. Congratulations on your 100,000, i didn't realise I was one of your early subscribers a year ago. Well done, my friend. I have a pair of the triangle based stands and they do wobble as you found. The stands were good value but I decided to experiment while we had the builders in. I tried mounting my Yamaha HS8 monitors on towers of concrete breeze blocks with acoustic isolation platforms at the top. It's no pun to say that the sound is much more solid and focused.

Perfect timing. Great content. Love your videos.

I can also recommend getting the VideoSecu 2 Heavy Duty PA DJ Club Adjustable Height Satellite Speaker stands. I use these in tandem with some Acoustic Damper Pads and they work very well. Definitely an upgrade from having my monitors on my desk.

Thanks. Nice survey. Concise. Clear. Price conscious.

I think for me the isolators are the best fit. There are always compromises when your space is multi-use. I use three screens for work in the same space, which creates some extra reflective surfaces likely not conducive to critical listening. I've been switching to headphones a lot to check what I'm hearing. Thanks for the video.

Very helpful, thank you. I think the first stands (the ones with the triangular base) are made in China by a number of OEM manufacturers, some with higher quality standards than others. I used to live in China and bought a pair by a company named SoundKing. Then I returned to the UK and bought a pair of stands that looked identical to the SoundKing ones, however, the ones I got in the UK were really poorly made and I ended up returning them and getting a pair of more expensive K&M stands. And yes, the ones from the UK were too made in China.

Thanks for the tips! One question - do I need pads in between speaker and the stand, or are the pads only useful if you place your speakers directly on the desk?

I'm in a tight space and I use the "Rockville RRS190S Foam Studio Monitor Isolation Pads 7.5" x 9.5"/3 Angles". Better than sitting on the desk. I'll keep these in mind when I eventually upgrade and get in a bigger space.

Nice video Sanjay. Recently purchased Audioengine speakers. I love the grass wall panel you have. I have question for you regarding the artificial grass panels. I am using the speakers in my office and the room has some echo issues. So thinking to put the fake grass panel on the front wall that would I think look nice and hopefully reduce echo. I am planning to put acoustic panels on left and right sides. Does the grass panels help in reducing echo? Or I would need acoustic panels on the front wall as well? Thanks

Hey Sanjay! I’m currently running an overhead and kick mic for my drum recording into a presonus usb96 and the tone is great but I’m having a hard time getting the “definition” that I desire from the recording. They end up being muddy sounding and get buried in the mix. I was wondering if there was some kind of cheap fix to this issue instead of buying a whole new interface and a couple more mics to put directly on the drums. Thoughts?

I have the Gator Frame work Clamp studio monitor stands. Its really very handy if you put it on a standing desk where you don't have to adjust the stand heights.

It would be awesome if you can review the product.(your thoughts on the product) Bdw very nice video, informative and astounding 🔥🔥

The clamp stands (Gator) may be good because they attach to your desk.

May I ask a question? I subscribed. Great stuff. Nearing tje end of rebuilding after storm took out my self build studio. The desk is designed for hidden wiring, and for lack of space slides back to one inch from back wall, little to no rooms on side. Nobody seems to have plate for 11" x 9" monitors. I would love to build something with quality based pipes that have the screw on plates for the bottom, plus hole through back corners of desk woukd be based for pipe. Then somehow fabricate or find a plate that can easily hold the monitors. I cam lean monitors with my foam. Trying to be creative here since nobody seems to have what is needed. I can send pics, just woukd appreciate your advice, (if nothing on the market, what best materials to use, converted mic stands or pipe. Especially the plate, fabricate any idea where? Thanks for thinking outside the box I hope.
