It combines heavy-duty steel column construction with a weighted MDF base for exceptional stability and minimal vibration. An integrated cable routing channel through the centre column keeps speaker wire hidden and the listening area clean, while adjustable rubber feet and carpet spikes provide secure placement on any floor. Positioned to place bookshelf speakers at ear level and away from reflective surfaces for clearer, more precise audio. Available now at Vinyl Sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAcoustic performance through correct placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary benefit of the ST28 is elevating bookshelf speakers to ear level and pulling them away from shelves, furniture, and walls that introduce boundary reflections and bass buildup. When a speaker sits on a shelf or close to a wall, early reflections arrive at your ear milliseconds after the direct sound, smearing transient detail and degrading imaging. The ST28 places the tweeter at the correct height for a seated listener while creating physical separation from reflective boundaries, letting the speaker perform closer to its measured anechoic response. The weighted MDF base adds mass to further reduce resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction and stability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavy-duty steel tubing forms the column for the rigidity needed to keep a loaded platform level and vibration-free during long listening sessions. The MDF base adds mass low in the structure, lowering the center of gravity and improving tip resistance over all-steel bases of the same footprint. The base plate measures 10.8 x 8.9 inches for a stable foundation without dominating the room, and the 7.9 x 5.9-inch top plate accommodates a broad range of bookshelf cabinets. Both adjustable rubber feet for hard floors and carpet spikes for soft surfaces are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKanto ST28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBookshelf speaker floor stands (pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 in (71.1 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoad capacity (per stand)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 lbs (13.6 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColumn material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMDF (weighted)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.9 x 5.9 in (20 x 15 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottom plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.8 x 8.9 in (27.5 x 22.5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable management\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal, through centre column\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloor contact\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable rubber feet and carpet spikes (both included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable heights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 in and 34 in models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKanto, Vancouver, Canada\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the Kanto ST28 speaker stands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Kanto ST28 are a pair of 28-inch universal floor speaker stands built with steel columns and a weighted MDF base, for bookshelf and standmount speakers up to 30 lbs per stand. They position speakers at seated ear level, route cables through the column, and include both rubber feet and carpet spikes for universal floor compatibility. A 34-inch version, the ST34, is also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the Kanto ST28 and the ST34?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ST28 and ST34 are identical in construction, materials, load capacity, and features, differing only in height: 28 inches versus 34 inches. The ST28 suits standard sofas or low chairs where a 28-inch tweeter height aligns with seated ear level, while the ST34 is better for taller seating or rooms where a higher speaker position is preferred. Both come in black and share the same plates, cable management, and accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Kanto ST28 compare to the Kanto SX22?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth hold bookshelf speakers, but the SX22 adds a fillable column for mass loading and an isolation foot system for maximum resonance reduction, while the ST28 offers a cleaner, more traditional design with a weighted MDF base and integrated cable management. Choose the ST28 for simplicity and a minimal aesthetic, and the SX22 when mass-loading and isolation performance are the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Kanto ST28 safe on hardwood floors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. With the included adjustable rubber feet it is safe on hardwood, laminate, and tile, providing a non-marking contact surface that protects floor finishes during use and repositioning. For carpet, fit the included carpet spikes in place of the rubber feet to anchor the base and improve stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat speakers are compatible with the ST28?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ST28 works with a broad range of bookshelf and standmount speakers whose base fits within the 7.9 x 5.9-inch top plate and weighs no more than 30 lbs per stand, including Kanto's own YU and YU6 powered speakers. For a larger or unusual base footprint, measure the cabinet base against the top-plate dimensions before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Kanto ST28 have cable management?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. An integrated cable routing channel runs through the centre of the steel column. Cables feed in at the base and exit near the top plate, keeping wires hidden along the length of the stand and eliminating trailing cables for a clean listening room without extra accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere can I buy the Kanto ST28 in the USA?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Kanto ST28 floor speaker stands are available at Vinyl Sound with shipping across the USA.
