"Highly Recommended" Award – HiFi Pig
"A Must Listen" Speaker Stand
The middle member of the family could be the perfect helper for you. And for your speakers.
The SS-6 speaker stand from Solidsteel is slightly taller than the SS-5 at 24" and has a slightly smaller top plate. Like the other two SS Series models, the SS-6 provides strong and reliable support, coaxing top performance from bookshelf and monitor speakers. The unique tripod design is uniquely stable and rigid. This could be the stand that you've been searching for.
"Incredibly Well Built And Add A Degree Or Two Of Focus"
"The Solidsteel SS-6 speaker stands come highly recommended... They are incredibly well built, look great, and add a degree or two of focus, and, for want of a better word, solidity to the sonic image that is presented before the listener," notes hifipig.com, which honored the SS-6 with Highly Recommended status.
"When he took our little Acoustic Energy AE100 off their Atacama stands and put on the Solid Steel SS6 the sound was totally transformed," reports the audio-T blog, November 2, 2018. "This result has been repeated in store with every pair of speakers that we put on them making these a must listen to upgrade if you want to get the best out of your bookshelf speakers."
"I've used stands by Solid Steel, Target, Foundation, and Ikea, homebuilt ones from Eames chair bases… I personally think these Solid Steel stands are cool. They're super stable, too, in use," notes JohnVF in his August 15, 2023 review for hifihaven.org.
Choosing The Right Stand For Your Speakers
It is of critical importance for the performance of bookshelf and monitor-type loudspeakers to position them at the correct height. Additionally, since these types of speaker are often relatively lightweight compared to floorstanding units, they require support that has high stability and rigidity. Decoupling is another important factor.
Solidsteel's SS-6 stand provides proper support at the desired height, and it excels in offering isolation from room vibration that can compromise sound quality. You may not realize what you're missing from you speakers until you place them on a pair of SS-6 stands.
The SS-6 stand is 24.6" tall with top plate dimensions of 6.3" x 6.3" and bottom dimensions of 13" x 12.20". Each stand weighs 26.9 lb.
Bringing Out The Best In Monitor Speakers Since 1992
The Solidsteel SS Series offers an optimum solution for the proper setup and enjoyment of monitor speakers, and these must in many ways be considered as important as the units they support.
The three tubular supports are terminated with a crimped steel bar for maximum strength. The included stainless steel spikes are removable to allow the frame to be filled with damping material.
The MDF top plate is interchangeable with different-size top plates in the SS Series, ensuring a high degree of optimization with the largest number of loudspeakers. Decoupling between the chassis and the shelf is achieved through three high precision steel ball bearings that sit on top of each of the legs. The spike feet provide additional decoupling from room vibration.
Unique, Time-Tested Tripod Design
These legendary speaker stands dates back to 1992 and were designed by Solidsteel founder Moreno Conti.
These unique tripods are assembled through a traditional brass welding process performed by expert hands. It's a time-consuming process. The average production time of a single piece is about 15 minutes, once all the parts are already prepared for processing. The hand-built characteristics make the SS stands inimitable and super strong.
The stands are supplied with Pata-fix® removable bonding compound to properly fix the speakers to the top plate.
