Canton Basic LS Speaker Stand, Black High Gloss (Pair)

The Canton Basic LS is a speaker stand for compact speakers that brings your boxes to listening height and acoustically decouples them from the floor.

So not a speaker itself, but the piece of furniture behind it – and still one of the components that most decides the actual sound of a bookshelf speaker. In black high gloss, the Basic LS is the most refined of the three Canton finishes: a smooth, mirror-like column that visually disappears next to high-gloss speakers (such as from the Canton Vento or GLE range), rather than pushing itself forward.

Why the Canton Basic LS?

Because a compact speaker on the sideboard, on a shelf, or – worse still – directly on the carpet, is acoustically at the wrong address. The Basic LS brings the tweeter to ear height, decouples the box from the surface, and so delivers a clean, undamped bass that the same box on a shelf never provides. The cable routing runs concealed inside the column – no clutter, no trip hazard, just a tidy look.

What you get

Two sturdy columns with height-adjustable spikes that also provide secure, tip-proof footing on uneven parquet or thick carpet. The cable routing is inside, leaving only the glossy column visible. Anyone who's ever tried to hide a speaker cable behind a stand knows why that's a real argument – not just a brochure line.

Who is the Canton Basic LS for?

For anyone who owns a compact speaker (not just from Canton) and wants to position it properly, instead of setting it down somewhere provisionally. Plain talk: if you're planning to build your speakers into a shelf anyway, you can skip the Basic LS – no stand in the world helps there. And if you're allergic to high-gloss lacquer (fingerprints, dust, every reflection of light), you're better served by the satin variant.

Our verdict

A stand is rarely the most exciting item on the hi-fi shelf – but often the most underrated. The Basic LS does its job quietly, stably, and without pushing itself into the foreground, exactly as a good piece of furniture should. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we put together stand and speaker for you, so that in the end both fit – height, looks, and sound.

Frequently asked questions

Which speakers does the Canton Basic LS fit?

The Basic LS is a universal stand for compact or bookshelf speakers, not just Canton models. What matters is your speaker's footprint and weight, not the brand. We'll check with you whether your specific model fits before you order.

Does the Basic LS stand securely on carpet too?

Yes. The height-adjustable spikes compensate for small unevennesses and provide a secure, tip-free stance on carpet or uneven parquet too. On parquet or tile we additionally recommend small felt pads, so nothing gets scratched.

Can I route the speaker cable invisibly?

That's exactly what the cable routing inside the column is for: the cable disappears into the stand and only re-emerges at the top by the speaker. Only the smooth column stays visible, no loose cables on the floor.

Is the Basic LS supplied as a pair or individually?

With us, as a pair – two stands for your stereo setup. Canton itself lists the Basic LS per unit; we put it together for you to match your two speakers.

Why buy the Canton Basic LS from HD Zürisee?

Because the right stand height and cable routing belong to the sound, not just the looks – and that's exactly part of our advice. Our experienced specialist team in Wädenswil tunes stand and speaker together to your room. Give us a call or drop us a quick message.
