Solidsteel Speaker Stands (Pair) 525mm

Hand-Welded Italian Tripod Speaker Stands | Brisbane HiFi Audio Specialist

The Solidsteel SS-5 is a premium Italian speaker stand designed to provide a rigid, mechanically controlled platform for medium-to-large standmount loudspeakers.

Handcrafted in Italy, the SS-5 combines a hand-welded steel tripod frame, brass joints, mass-loadable tubular legs, and a three-point mechanical decoupling system using precision steel ball bearings between the frame and top plate.

At 525 mm high, the SS-5 is designed to position compatible loudspeaker tweeters at an appropriate listening height while providing a stable foundation for accurate stereo imaging and bass control.

At Brisbane HiFi, we recommend the SS-5 for owners of premium bookshelf and monitor loudspeakers who require a substantial, mechanically sophisticated speaker-support platform.

Key Features & Mechanical Engineering Highlights

• Hand-Welded Steel & Brass Construction: High-grade steel tubing is hand welded with brass joints to create a rigid tripod structure designed to resist unwanted mechanical movement.
• Three-Point Ball-Bearing Decoupling: Three precision steel ball bearings sit between the frame and top plate, creating a defined mechanical interface between the loudspeaker and stand.
• Mass-Loadable Tubular Legs: The hollow support structure can be filled with suitable damping or mass-loading material to increase overall stability and modify the stand's mechanical behaviour.
• 190 × 190 mm MDF Top Plate: The enlarged lacquered MDF platform provides a substantial mounting area for compatible medium and large standmount loudspeakers.
• 525 mm Listening Height: The stand height is designed to place compatible monitor tweeters close to the listener's ear level in typical seated listening positions.
• Adjustable Stainless-Steel Spikes: Heavy-duty adjustable floor spikes provide precise levelling and a defined mechanical interface with the supporting floor.
• Protective Floor Discs: Solidsteel S Series floor discs provide a protective interface between the spikes and finished timber, tile, or other flooring.

Product Specifications

Loudspeaker Compatibility

The SS-5 is designed for medium-to-large standmount loudspeakers with a suitable footprint for its 190 × 190 mm top plate and a total weight within the stand's specified capacity.

Brisbane HiFi can assist with assessing:

• Loudspeaker dimensions
• Loudspeaker weight
• Top-plate compatibility
• Appropriate stand height
• Speaker orientation
• Mechanical coupling
• Listening-height alignment

For smaller or larger monitors, Solidsteel offers alternative stand heights and configurations that may provide a better geometric match.

Mechanical Mass Loading

The SS-5's tubular frame can be filled with an appropriate damping or mass-loading material.

Adding mass can increase the stand's overall weight and stability and alter its mechanical behaviour.

For best results, the fill material and quantity should be selected with consideration for the specific loudspeaker, room, and desired installation.

Speaker Placement & Alignment

Correct stand height and loudspeaker positioning are essential to achieving the intended stereo image.

Brisbane HiFi can assist with:

• Tweeter-height alignment
• Speaker spacing
• Toe-in
• Listening distance
• Stand levelling
• Loudspeaker coupling
• Floor protection

The goal is to position the loudspeaker securely while maintaining consistent left/right geometry.
