Canton LS 860 Speaker Stands (Pair)

The Canton LS 860 speaker stands are the ultimate foundation for your compact loudspeakers, transforming them from shelf-top units into perfectly positioned, acoustically optimized transducers. In high-fidelity audio, the stand is as crucial as the speaker itself, and the LS 860 is engineered for maximum performance.

Standing 610 mm (24 inches) tall, the design adheres to the acoustically ideal height, ensuring the crucial high-frequency information from your tweeter reaches your ears directly, optimizing phase coherence and stereo imaging. The construction utilizes rigid, varnished aluminum, with each stand weighing a substantial 5.4 kg. This mass immediately dampens resonances, preventing the subtle micro-vibrations that can muddy a speaker’s presentation.

For the user seeking absolute isolation, the single column design allows for sand or shot filling. This simple but effective measure converts the LS 860 into an ultra-inert platform, drawing even more detail and focus from your speakers, particularly in the lower frequencies.

The attention to detail extends to aesthetics: the premium high-gloss lacquer finish is available in Black or White and seamlessly integrates into modern decor. A practical, hidden cable channel runs down the central column, allowing you to route speaker wires discreetly, maintaining the visual elegance of your high-end setup. The LS 860 is designed not just to hold your speakers, but to unleash their full potential.
