Audio T Verdict
The Triangle S02 is a purpose-designed speaker stand that gets the fundamentals right: sensible height, a stable footprint, adjustable floor spikes and discreet cable management.
At 596mm high before the spikes are fitted, the S02 is designed to raise compatible standmount speakers towards a sensible seated listening height rather than leaving them too low on furniture or a shelf.
The top plate measures 165 x 215mm, while the larger 230 x 270mm base provides a stable footprint without making the stand unnecessarily bulky.
Triangle includes eight height-adjustable spikes and eight matching counter-spikes with the pair. This allows each stand to be levelled individually while the counter-spikes provide a protective interface for suitable hard-floor installations.
Speaker cable can also be routed through the rear column, helping keep the installation tidy and reducing the amount of loose cable hanging behind the speaker.
Triangle specifically recommends the S02 for several of its larger compact speakers, including the BR03, BR04, Titus Ez, BR03 Connect and AIO TWIN.
If you own one of those models, or another suitably sized speaker that works safely with the 165 x 215mm top plate, the S02 provides a clean and practical way to position it properly.

Why Use Speaker Stands?
A standmount loudspeaker works best when it is supported securely and positioned at an appropriate height relative to the listener.
A suitable speaker stand helps with:
- Tweeter height
- Speaker stability
- Left and right speaker symmetry
- Distance from nearby walls
- Toe-in adjustment
- Cable management
596mm Stand Height
The S02 measures approximately:
596mm high before the floor spikes are fitted.
This places compatible Triangle speakers at a useful height for seated listening.
Why Tweeter Height Matters
High frequencies are more directional than bass frequencies, so the vertical relationship between the tweeter and the listener can affect tonal balance and stereo imaging.
Using a correctly sized stand is therefore preferable to placing a standmount speaker arbitrarily on a low table, cabinet or shelf.
165 x 215mm Top Plate
Each S02 has a top support measuring approximately:
- Width: 165mm
- Depth: 215mm
The loudspeaker cabinet can be larger than the top plate, provided it remains properly supported and stable.
Check Compatibility Before Using Other Speakers
Triangle specifically recommends the S02 for selected models. If you intend to use another loudspeaker, check its cabinet dimensions, weight and stability before placing it on the stand.
The speaker should sit securely without being vulnerable to tipping or being knocked from the top plate.
230 x 270mm Base
The base measures approximately:
- Width: 230mm
- Depth: 270mm
The wider footprint helps provide stability while remaining compact enough for most domestic listening rooms.
Adjustable Floor Spikes
Triangle supplies eight height-adjustable spikes with the pair of stands.
Independent adjustment allows the stands to be levelled where the floor is not completely even.
A properly adjusted stand should feel:
- Stable
- Level
- Free from rocking
- Secure beneath the speaker
Counter-Spikes Included
Triangle also supplies eight counter-spikes with the pair.
These sit beneath the pointed floor spikes and provide an interface between the metal point and a suitable hard floor.
Protect Delicate Hard Flooring
Do not place exposed metal spikes directly onto timber, laminate, tile, vinyl or another delicate finished floor.
Use the supplied counter-spikes or another appropriate protective interface.
Integrated Cable Management
The S02 incorporates a cable route through the rear column.
This allows suitable speaker cable to be passed through the stand rather than hanging loosely behind it.
A Cleaner Installation
Integrated cable routing helps:
- Reduce visible cable
- Keep the area around the stand tidier
- Reduce loose cable around the floor
- Create a more discreet installation
Leave Enough Cable for Positioning
Do not pull speaker cable completely tight through the stand.
Leave enough free cable at each end to connect the loudspeaker and amplifier comfortably and to allow small positioning or toe-in adjustments.
Recommended Triangle Speakers
Triangle recommends the S02 with:
- Triangle BR03
- Triangle BR04
- Triangle Titus Ez
- Triangle BR03 Connect
- Triangle AIO TWIN
S02 With Triangle BR03
The BR03 is one of Triangle's larger Borea standmount loudspeakers and is specifically included in the manufacturer's S02 compatibility recommendations.
S02 With Triangle BR04
Triangle also recommends the S02 for the BR04, giving the larger Borea bookshelf speaker a dedicated floorstanding support option.
S02 With Triangle Titus Ez
The Titus Ez from Triangle's Esprit range is another model specifically recommended for the S02.
S02 With Triangle BR03 Connect
The active BR03 Connect can also be used with the S02, providing a more conventional stand-mounted loudspeaker installation while retaining the flexibility of an active system.
S02 With Triangle AIO TWIN
Triangle recommends the S02 as one of the stand options for the AIO TWIN active speaker system.

Using the S02 With Other Speakers
The S02 is not physically restricted to Triangle loudspeakers, but compatibility should be considered carefully.
Check:
- Speaker cabinet width
- Speaker cabinet depth
- Speaker weight
- Centre of gravity
- Top-plate support
- Required tweeter height
- Overall stability
Speaker Positioning
Once the speakers are on their stands, positioning will normally make a bigger difference than very small changes to accessories.
As a starting point:
- Keep left and right speakers at matching heights
- Keep them reasonably symmetrical within the room
- Avoid pushing them unnecessarily into corners
- Experiment with distance from the rear wall
- Experiment gradually with toe-in
- Make sure both stands are completely stable
Toe-In
Once the stands are level, try rotating both speakers slightly towards or away from the listening position.
Listen for changes in:
- Central vocal focus
- Soundstage width
- Image depth
- Treble balance
Small changes are usually more useful than extreme angles.
Black or White Finish
The S02 is available in:
This allows the stands either to blend with similarly finished speakers or provide a contrasting appearance.
Compact Footprint
Despite standing almost 600mm high, the S02 occupies a relatively modest floor area.
The 230 x 270mm base is useful where a full-size stand is required without an unnecessarily large footprint around furniture.
Weight
Triangle publishes a net weight of approximately:
5kg.
The gross packaged weight for the pair is approximately 10.6kg.
Packaging
Triangle specifies packaged dimensions for the pair of approximately:

How many spikes are supplied?
Eight, providing four for each stand.
Are protective counter-spikes supplied?
Yes. Eight counter-spikes are included.
Can I use the spikes on a wooden floor?

Will speaker stands improve the sound?
Correctly positioned stands can help by placing the speaker at a more appropriate listening height, providing stable support and giving greater freedom to adjust wall distance and toe-in.
Should the tweeter be at ear height?
As a general starting point, positioning the tweeter reasonably close to seated ear height is useful because high frequencies are relatively directional.
Should the stands be completely level?
Yes. Adjust the spikes so each stand is stable, level and does not rock.
