Stable, 50% Sand Filled: ATACAMA SLX 500 Speaker StandsThe Atacama SLX series stand is a professional-grade line of UK-engineered speaker stands. 500mm high, 220mm x 220mm top plate, 300mm x 300mm base with adjustable spikes.18mm stainless steel and 30mm aluminium spike feet (scratched).NOTED FOR...
A$350 is basically fair for these stands in the current used market: it sits right on top of the A$344 75th percentile and just above the A$342 median, so it is not a bargain, but it is also not out of line for a clean pair. New pricing is much higher, which helps frame the ask as sensible if the condition is good and the finish is tidy.
These are well-regarded, heavy-duty stands that earn their keep through stability, proper speaker height, and the ability to load them up for better damping and bass control. The main upside here is that a decent pair can be a long-term buy rather than a placeholder, especially if the spikes, pads, and any original hardware are all present. At this price, a buyer should mainly confirm straightness, thread condition, and whether the base plates and floor spikes are complete.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Atacama Audio traces its origins to 1969 in the UK, initially operating as Sambell Engineering Ltd with a focus on aerospace engineering alongside firms like Rolls Royce. The company pivoted to hi-fi in 1987, leveraging expertise in aluminium to pioneer innovative legs and feet for equipment racks. Evolving from tempered glass shelves to superior oak and bamboo with curved designs and spiked isolation, Atacama refined its approach through decades of hands-on development.
The brand specializes in hi-fi furniture and supports, including award-winning speaker stands, modular racks, and AV platforms that prioritize both aesthetics and acoustic performance. Drawing on vibration control principles, these products enhance system clarity without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or source components like turntables and DACs.
Positioned as a mid-tier leader in the niche of hi-fi furniture, Atacama enjoys strong UK recognition for over 30 years of reliable, customizable solutions favored by enthusiasts seeking optimal setups. Its in-house design and manufacturing underscore a commitment to practical excellence over high-end exotica.
