We first started selling audioengine products when the D1 24 bit DAC was released. We love their products and their speakers are punchy little numbers. They’ve been making good audio and audio accessories since about 2005.

They certainly enter this list in part because the angle is good for better audio but also as they look good. The Kanto S2 come in 6 colour options with quite a minimalist footprint.

DIY Monitor Stands vs. Commercial Monitor Stands

In the world of music production and audio engineering, precision and attention to detail are paramount. Studio monitor stands may seem like a subtle addition to your setup, but their impact on sound quality is significant. Elevating your monitors to ear level, minimizing vibrations, and optimizing room acoustics can transform your studio into a haven of sonic excellence. Ensure that the room is quiet during calibration. External noises can affect the accuracy of the process. It’s like waiting for the perfect moment to capture a fleeting expression.

Depending on the size of your desk it can be really nice having a little elevation on your speaker stands. I’ve found studio monitors or bookshelf speaker stands do well being slightly elevated from the desk and it does get the speakers closer to your ear.
