Yamaha SPS-5000 (pack of 2)
Overview
The speaker stands SPS-5000 are designed for the NS-5000. Their design is based on simulations to ensure stable speaker support and limit unwanted vibrations.
A concentration of technology serving acoustics
The four solid aluminum feet provide an exceptionally stable base with a total weight of 8 kg. This robust construction is not merely sturdy: each foot features smooth curved surfaces, set at a precise 42° angle relative to the baffle surface to effectively minimize sound reflections from the speaker. This calculated angling represents a unique approach where geometry becomes an acoustic tool.
The curved shape of the feet has proven significantly less sensitive to resonances than straight variants, illustrating the level of detail in the design. These elegant curves are therefore not an aesthetic choice but a result of advanced acoustic optimization, born from meticulous analysis.
The height of 304 mm (with spikes) places the NS-5000’s tweeter at the ear level of a seated listener, while being higher than a standard 30 cm bookshelf speaker stand, which helps minimize floor reflections. This calculated elevation transforms the listening experience by placing the transducers in an optimal zone for spatial perception and clarity of the sound image.
Adaptability designed for every environment
The feet allow height adjustment with included steel spikes to limit parasitic vibrations from the stand. These spikes can be removed to use rubber feet, depending on the installation location, thus offering welcome flexibility based on floor type and installation constraints.
The stand is also equipped with height-adjustment mechanisms (spacers) to eliminate any instability of the speaker. On the top of the four aluminum feet is a small knurled screw that allows you to level the NS-5000 perfectly, ensuring impeccable stability even on slightly uneven surfaces.
Special screws to securely fasten the speaker to the stand are also included, creating a coherent mechanical assembly where stand and speaker become one, eliminating any risk of slipping or unintended movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the SPS-5000 only compatible with the NS-5000?
The SPS-5000 stands were developed exclusively for the NS-5000 speakers. Sophisticated simulation analyses were carried out during the design to create a stand that specifically supports the NS-5000 without generating unwanted sounds. The angle of the feet, the height, and the mounting points are optimized for this specific speaker, making use with other models unsuitable.
Can the NS-5000 be used without the SPS-5000 stands?
Technically possible, but not recommended. The NS-5000 are supplied only as a set including the SPS-5000 stands, as the stands actively contribute to acoustic performance. The calculated height, the angle of the feet, and vibration reduction are essential elements for achieving the optimal sound reproduction intended by the Yamaha engineers.
How do the spikes affect the sound?
The steel spikes limit parasitic vibrations from the stand and ensure a stable footing. By creating minimal contact with the floor, they reduce the transmission of vibrations between the floor and the speaker. For delicate floors or when isolation is less critical, the supplied rubber feet are an alternative that preserves surfaces.
What is the significance of the 42° angle of the feet?
This 42° angle relative to the baffle surface effectively minimizes sound reflections from the speaker. This precise tilt results from in-depth studies aimed at reducing acoustic interference caused by reflections on the stand itself, thereby contributing to a clearer and more well-defined soundstage.
Is height adjustment really necessary?
The adjustment system allows you to precisely adapt the position of the speakers according to the room’s acoustics and the listening position. The height of 304 mm with spikes places the tweeter at the ear level of a seated listener, but the adjustment mechanisms make it possible to fine-tune this position based on the specific configuration of each installation.
