I have some qualms with these. Wouldn't these rattle if you were putting some bass through them on a glass desk? There's a good reason why the Audioengine stands are made of soft material.

autoteleologyIt looks like there is a small layer of foam between both the table and the stand and the speaker and the stand. Not sure how effective these are at reducing rattling from lower frequencies though.

autoteleologyGreat question, I hadn't really thought of that, though from everything I've read, the audioengine stands aren't really 'soft' like rubber or foam, they're just hard plastic. Granted, they may still rattle less than the aluminum/foam combination of these so I'd love some kind of comment from massdrop or kanto on this.

jocelynHey Jocelyn,
It's not a worry at all.
As already mentioned, the foam grip on the bottom of the S2's is more than sufficient to keep these stands stationary even with very low frequencies, so glass tables, wood tables, brick tables....have at er. We've put these stands through the ringer at our head office and have tested numerous setups without any hiccups.
Hope this helps,

autoteleologyunfortunately there is no good reason why the Audioengine stands are so ugly.

JosephYHey JosephY,
Weight shouldn't be an issue, however the dimensions of the YU5 would be a bit "awkward" for this type of stand. The YU5 cabinets are a bit deeper than we suggest which would make the setup a bit "front heavy" and dare I say, slightly unstable. Also, due to the size of the units, the 16 degree angle really wouldn't be necessary for a much larger unit. For desktop applications with this product, I wouldn't bother going much larger than our YU3 speakers.
Side Note - As these are our first desktop speaker stands, I have no doubt that our product design team will be looking to introduce many other speaker accessories, including larger and even heavier duty stands for different applications. For now, we will be releasing our new line of floor stands (SP26) in the next 1-2 weeks designed specifically with our YU5 and YUMI products in mind.
Thanks,
