Canton Basic LS Speaker Stand, Black Matte (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.

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 satin, the Basic LS is the most discreet of the three finishes: no reflections, no fingerprints, simply a solid base that does its job and nothing else.

Why the Canton Basic LS?

Because a compact speaker on the sideboard or directly on the floor is acoustically in the wrong place. The Basic LS brings the tweeter to ear height and decouples the box from the surface, which makes bass and imaging noticeably cleaner than any improvised setup. Let's be honest: the most expensive box does little good if it ends up sitting on a wobbly stack of books.

What you get

Two sturdy columns with height-adjustable spikes for secure footing on parquet, tile, or carpet, plus cable routing that disappears completely inside the column. The satin surface absorbs reflections and forgives the occasional fingerprint when moving it around.

Who is the Canton Basic LS for?

For anyone who owns a compact speaker and wants to take it seriously – regardless of the box's brand. Plain talk: speakers built into an existing shelf don't need a stand; you're better off saving that money for a better cable. If you don't like the matte look and prefer gloss, go for the high-gloss finish.

Our verdict

A stand rarely sells on emotion, but on what it gets right in the background: standing, decoupling, hiding cables. The Basic LS does exactly that, without any frills. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we look at stand and speaker together, so the height ultimately suits your sofa and not just the brochure.

Frequently asked questions

Which speakers does the Canton Basic LS fit?

The Basic LS is a universal stand for compact or bookshelf speakers, not tied to a brand. What matters is your speaker's footprint and weight. We're happy to check with you in advance whether your model fits.

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 too. On sensitive floors, felt pads are also worthwhile.

Can I route the speaker cable invisibly?

Yes, the cable routing runs inside the column and only re-emerges at the top by the speaker. No loose cables are left lying on the floor.

Is the Basic LS supplied as a pair or individually?

With us, as a pair for your stereo setup. Canton itself lists the Basic LS per unit; we put it together for you finished as a pair.

Why buy the Canton Basic LS from HD Zürisee?

Because stand height and cable routing shape the sound just as much as the box itself – and that's exactly what we look at in our advice. Our specialist team in Wädenswil tunes stand and speaker together to your room. Give us a call or drop us a quick message.
