Fluid AudioDS5: Decoupling adjustable monitor stand for 4-5" speaker loaded studio monitors

Well packaged and very easy to put together. These look great and do a great job of isolating studio monitors from the desktop. They match the look of the Yamaha HS5 monitors I am using and have a small footprint so don’t take up much desktop space. I like the fact that the supporting surface isn’t larger than the base of my monitors so things look neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend at this price point (why spend more money on equivalent ISO Accoustic mounts when these do the same job for less money).

I usually forget to review products that I buy, but the first thing that I thought when I listened to music through my relatively low-end (M-Audio BX5) monitors after I'd set up these stands was "Wow. I have to let people know how much these have improved the audio quality of my monitors".No longer does the majority of the music I listen to/record/mix sound like its coming out of my desk (was using acoustic pads before), it now sounds like its coming to me from the centre of where my head is. Its hard to explain but everything sounds so much more clear.Thank you for making these affordably priced.

These are decent stands. To me they look and feel good quality. The price seems a little high but there's nothing better for cheaper.I wanted to upgrade from the foam isolating pads I've been using for a few years and free up some desk space - these definitely do a good job there.The inclusion of tilted rubber feet to angle your speakers is a nice touch.They are fiddly to assemble because the plastic struts clip onto the stands very tightly. You will need to be patient with it. However, the plus side here is you don't really need to use the provided screws.Worth noting that these are intended for smaller monitor speakers such as the Yamaha HS5, but they support my larger HS7s just fine. In fact I'd say these are better for that purpose due to the smaller footprint.

Great monitor stands for my Presonus Eris 4.5’s. You’re able to set them to two different heights (although not easily interchangeable) which is useful depending on the setup. This is because you have to pull the plastic sides over the MDF top and bottom, then screw them into place. Really helpfully they come with a number of different silicone pads to go on the bottom of your monitors, which allow them to lean forwards, backwards, or low flat at various angles. They do a good job at isolating the sound and also look pretty awesome.

Had read earlier reviews about the quality of the finish but ordered anyway and glad I did. They appear to have a laminated finish which is very good. Fairly easy to assemble if you take your time and they work very well. Excellent value for the price when you consider that a similar product costs well over £100.

I've had my KRK Rokit 5s on my desk for a few years - the only place they could go. Initially very boomy, I fixed that to an extent by adding rubber isolation feet to their bases. Still, they were ultimately too low and still a bit boomy. Recently I looked at various desk stands but none seemed to provide the height I needed whilst remaining level (I don't like the ones that just angle the speakers upwards). Then I spotted these and decided that, on their "high" setting, they should fit the bill. I wasn't wrong; they are excellent, providing all the height and isolation needed to make my speakers sound far, far better. Their footprint is just right and now I can store small bits and bobs underneath, too. Just wish I'd seen these sooner.

For what these are, they are extremely expensive. 4 pieces of not very neatly cut MDF...not fully covered and some decidedly rough edges, 8 bits of moulded plastic...interesting shape, a few screws..in fact exactly the correct number of screws, pity because I dropped one which disappeared into the vast oubliette otherwise known as my study floor never to be seen again finding a spare in my bits boxes took ages. and a selection of 'sorbothane' discs for feet and supports.Instructions were worse than useless, a bit of paper with some minimalist pictures on....it seems the days of concise English instructions are long gone, you get pictures that tell you nothing....I assembled these stands by referring to Google images and did find a You Tube video of someone with the same problem that I had.Anyway.....they are sitting on my desk with my pair of Tannoys (tilted ever so slightly back) at just the right height (playing Bad Company ever so perfectly as I type) and they are much admired, until I say how much they cost.My Tannoy Eclipse speakers are not lightweight, but lacked anything resembling feet. These stands do an excellent job and sound comparison with and without the stands do show a marked improvement with the stands in place...bass is a lot more precise and crisp, guitars sound as they should (I was a lead singer in my younger days and know what all sorts of guitars should sound like) and you can really hear the drums. Acoustic stuff sound like they are playing in the room with you, so these stands do work, but do cost a lot and these are a cheaper set....there are others that cast even more than these.So, only 3 stars due the price and poor finish, but they do make a difference.

Da un pò di tempo che stavo cercando supporti per i miei monitor studio che non mi costassero una cifra, questo modello sicuramente ha fatto al caso mio non avendo molto spazio. Venditore perfetto.

Bon rapport qualité/prix. Plastique relativement solide. Bonne stabilité grâce aux supports en caoutchouc. Facile à monter. En revanche, démontage des entretoises indispensables en cas de changement de hauteur.

Die Fluid Audio Boxenständer sind tatsächlich so ein Ding: das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sollte man nicht betrachten, sicher nicht. Es sind Plastikteile zum selbst zusammenstecken, nicht mehr.Aber: die Ständer funktionieren hervorragend. Und da ich etwas optisch leichtes wollte, reduzierte sich die Auswahl. Am Schluss bleibt nur die Frage. Geb ich's aus oder nicht. Ich gab, und ich bereue nicht.

Small price, noticeable improvement in sound image.Small Genelecs previously on heavy desktop stands.

I've wanted to raise my near field monitors up about 5 inches, some stuff was blocking a direct line and I either had to lower my ears or get the speakers more in line with my ear holes. I chose wisely. You've seen the prices on some of the other speaker stands, silly prices, silly silly prices. Even these Fluid's were pricey I thought but I am happy, really really happy I purchased them.Now, are they effective? - Yes, yes. Your setup may have different results but I lost some resonance that went away, I could no longer feel the vibrations through my thick computer work station.Do they change the sound? - Hummm, how do I answer. Yes but your ears will adjust to the change that is for the better. If you like bassey bass, you may want to keep them on the counter. I have a sub that I didn't even adjust after elevating the monitors with these Fluid stands, the three components meld quite nicely. Currently, after living 54 years this is the best desk setup I've ever had.
