KEF S1 Speaker Stands (Pair) – Black

KEF S1 Speaker Stands (Pair) – Black

The KEF S1 is the floor stand KEF designed specifically for its LSX family of wireless speakers — the original LSX, the LSX II and the LSX II LT. Compact speakers only deliver what they are capable of when they are positioned correctly: tweeters at ear height, cabinets held rigidly, and nothing vibrating underneath them. Perched on a sideboard or a bookshelf, an LSX sits too low, couples to the furniture and loses clarity, bass definition and stereo focus. The S1 solves the positioning problem properly, in a stand whose dimensions, top plate and finish are made for these speakers rather than adapted to them. This listing is the black finish, supplied as a pair.

The construction is aluminium, chosen for rigidity and stability. The speaker fixes to the stand with a 1/4-inch screw mount, so the LSX cannot be knocked askew, and the top plate incorporates internal damping material to reduce unwanted resonance passing between speaker and stand. The pillar can be filled with inert material for additional mass and damping, which owners stepping up from lightweight generic stands consistently describe as an audible tightening of the low end.

Key features

• Made for LSX: Designed for the KEF LSX, LSX II and LSX II LT, with a 1/4-inch screw mounting that locks the speaker to the top plate.
• Correct listening height: 683 mm stand height places the LSX Uni-Q driver at ear level for a seated listener, restoring imaging and detail.
• Aluminium construction: Rigid, stable aluminium build with a damped top plate to control resonance.
• Fillable pillar: The centre post can be filled with inert material to add mass and further reduce unwanted vibration.
• Integrated cable management: Power and connection cables run inside the stand, keeping the setup visually clean.
• Adjustable feet: Adjustable feet with floor pads allow easy levelling on uneven floors; the rubber feet can be replaced with third-party floor spikes.
• Matched finish: Black finish coordinated with the LSX range, sold and measured as a pair.

Why stands change the sound

A speaker stand does three jobs at once. It sets the height, and for the LSX’s coincident Uni-Q driver, height is imaging: with the acoustic centre at ear level, voices lock to the centre and instruments take their places across a stable soundstage. It provides a rigid, non-resonant support, so the energy the drivers produce goes into the room rather than into shaking a cabinet shelf — the audible payoff is tighter bass and cleaner transients. And it frees placement: stands let you position the pair for sound, with space around them, instead of wherever furniture happens to be. The S1’s fillable pillar and damped top plate are aimed squarely at the second of those jobs.

Practical details

Each stand measures 683 x 208 x 251 mm (H x W x D) including the plinth and weighs 2.93 kg before filling. Cable management runs through the pillar, so the LSX II’s power cable — and the interspeaker cable in a wired configuration — disappears from view. Levelling is handled by the adjustable feet, and owners with hard floors can swap the rubber feet for spikes if preferred. Assembly is a short job with the speaker screwing directly to the top plate.

The right foundation for an LSX system

The LSX range is a complete, high-quality music system in two small boxes; it deserves to be set up like one. The S1 pair in black gives the speakers the height, stability and clean presentation KEF intended, and turns a pair of desktop speakers placed where they fit into a properly arranged stereo system. If the speakers are the investment, the stands are how you hear all of it.
