Atacama - Nexxus CM 700 - Speaker Stands Review: In our latest deep dive we evaluate how Atacama’s NeXXus CM 700 speaker stands deliver exceptional structural integrity and acoustic clarity for discerning audiophiles. Whether you run bookshelf monitors or compact floorstanders, these stands offer an elegant solution to elevate your speakers and refine your listening experience.

Design & Build Quality
The NeXXus CM 700 stands marry form and function with precision-engineered aluminium extrusion. The rear 50.8mm (2″) cable management tube and oversized 76.2mm (3″) front vertical support not only create a sleek modern profile but also provide superior rigidity under load. Finished in a satin black or silver-anodised coat, these stands maintain a visually unobtrusive footprint while supporting up to 22.5kg (49.06 lbs) per stand.

Acoustic Performance & Cable Management
Isolation and resonance control are at the core of the NeXXus CM philosophy. The ability to load the front tube with Atacama Atabites or similar inert material reduces cabinet ringing and floor-borne vibration, delivering greater clarity in the midrange and tighter bass. Meanwhile, discreet oval apertures (34 mm × 44 mm) on the rear tube allow you to hide speaker cables, IEC power cords*, interconnects* and Wi-Fi leads behind the stand—ensuring your listening space remains uncluttered.
Installation & Setup
Available in four height options—520 mm, 620 mm, 720 mm and 1020 mm—the CM 700 model (720 mm) is optimised for most mid-level bookshelf speakers. Assembly is intuitive: attach the top and base plates, fill the front tube with mass-loading plates (optional), and affix the domed gel pads to isolate your floor. For delicate surfaces, HD-L spike shoes* can be added to enhance stability and decouple the stand further.
