What's in the Box
- Two Gauder Akustik Capello 40 aluminum stands (one pair)
- Associated mounting and floor coupling hardware
Overview
The Gauder Akustik Capello 40 Aluminum Stands are a matched pair of dedicated aluminum supports engineered specifically for the Capello 40 stand mount loudspeaker. This is an accessory, not a speaker, and it produces no sound on its own. Its job is to hold the Capello 40 at the correct listening height while rigidly coupling the cabinet to the floor, so the speaker performs the way Roland Gauder intended.
Correct height and rigid coupling matter more than many listeners expect. When a stand mount speaker sits at the right elevation, the tweeter aligns with the seated ear for accurate imaging, and a stable, drained mechanical path helps preserve the low-end control and clarity of the cabinet. These aluminum stands are sized specifically for the Capello 40 footprint, so the speaker sits securely and predictably rather than perched on a generic base.
They are ideal for any Capello 40 owner who wants to hear the loudspeaker at its full potential. Because Gauder Akustik makes only passive loudspeakers, you will still need a separate amplifier to drive the Capello 40, and these stands complete the physical foundation of that system.

How the Capello 40 Stands Compares
Gauder Capello 40 Aluminum Stands vs Marten Oscar Duo Stand Pair
Both are dedicated stands tuned to a specific stand mount loudspeaker, so each is designed to hold its intended cabinet rather than serve as a universal base. The Marten Oscar Duo Stand is matched to the Marten Oscar Duo, while the Gauder aluminum stand is sized precisely to the Capello 40. Choose the stand that matches the loudspeaker you own, since a model-specific fit is the whole point of a dedicated design. See the Marten Oscar Duo Stand Pair.
Gauder Capello 40 Aluminum Stands vs Spendor Classic Series Loudspeaker Stands
The Spendor Classic stands are built around the character and mounting needs of Spendor's Classic Series cabinets, aiming for the ideal height and coupling for those speakers. The Gauder aluminum stand instead targets the Capello 40 footprint and listening height. Both share the same goal of a rigid, correctly elevated foundation, but each is optimized for its own family. See the Spendor Classic Series Loudspeaker Stands.
Gauder Capello 40 Aluminum Stands vs IsoAcoustics GAIA-TITAN Cronos Isolation Feet
These serve different roles. The IsoAcoustics GAIA-TITAN Cronos are isolation feet that decouple a component or speaker from the surface beneath it, while the Gauder aluminum stand is a full support structure that sets the Capello 40 at the correct height and rigidly couples it to the floor. Owners focused on getting a stand mount speaker to the right elevation should look to the dedicated stand. See the IsoAcoustics GAIA-TITAN Cronos Isolation Feet.
Works With
These stands are an accessory sized specifically for the Capello 40, so they make sense alongside the loudspeaker they hold and the electronics needed to drive it.
- Gauder Akustik Capello 40 DV This is the loudspeaker the stands are designed to hold, so the pairing gives the Capello 40 its correct height and a rigid floor coupling for accurate imaging and controlled bass.
- Audiolab 7000A Because Gauder makes only passive speakers, you need a separate amplifier; this integrated amp can drive the Capello 40 to complete the system.
- TEAC AX-505 A compact integrated amplifier option to power the Capello 40, rounding out a stand-mounted system in a smaller footprint.
- Audiolab 9000Q If you prefer separates, this preamplifier can anchor the front end of a Capello 40 system when paired with a power amplifier.
- Onkyo Icon M-80 A power amplifier to supply the drive the passive Capello 40 requires, ideal alongside a preamplifier for a separates setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Gauder Akustik Capello 40 Aluminum Stands?
They are a matched pair of dedicated aluminum speaker stands designed specifically to hold the Gauder Akustik Capello 40 stand mount loudspeaker. They are an accessory, not a speaker.
Do the stands make sound on their own?
No. They produce no sound. They are a support structure for the Capello 40 loudspeaker.
Are they sold as a pair or individually?
They are sold as a pair, one stand for each Capello 40 loudspeaker.
Which speaker do these stands fit?
They are sized specifically for the Gauder Akustik Capello 40 stand mount loudspeaker.
Can I use these stands with other speakers?
They are engineered to the Capello 40 footprint and height, so they are intended for that model rather than as a universal stand.
Why do I need dedicated stands for a stand mount speaker?
Dedicated stands set the loudspeaker at the correct listening height and rigidly couple it to the floor, which supports accurate imaging and controlled bass.
What are the stands made of?
They are made of aluminum for stiffness and low resonance.
How do the stands improve imaging?
By placing the Capello 40 at the correct height, the tweeter aligns with the seated ear, which helps deliver precise, stable imaging.
How do the stands affect bass performance?
Rigidly coupling the speaker to the floor creates a stable, drained mechanical path that helps preserve the low-end control the Capello 40 is designed to deliver.
Do I still need an amplifier?
Yes. Gauder Akustik makes only passive loudspeakers, so the Capello 40 requires a separate amplifier. The stands are only the physical foundation.
Do the stands come with the Capello 40 loudspeaker?
No. The stands and the loudspeaker are separate items. These stands are purchased to support the Capello 40 you own or plan to add.
Does the stand include mounting hardware?
Yes, the stands include the associated mounting and floor coupling hardware needed for setup.
Can I place the Capello 40 on a shelf instead?
A shelf will not provide the correct height or rigid coupling these stands are designed to deliver, so the dedicated stands are the recommended approach for best performance.
How do these compare to isolation feet?
Isolation feet decouple a speaker or component from a surface, while these are a full support structure that sets the Capello 40 at the correct listening height and rigidly couples it to the floor.
How do these compare to other dedicated stands like the Marten Oscar Duo Stand?
Both are model-specific stands tuned to their intended loudspeaker. The Marten stand fits its Marten cabinet, while this Gauder stand is sized specifically for the Capello 40, so you choose based on the loudspeaker you own.
What amplifier options work with the Capello 40 on these stands?
Integrated amplifiers such as the Audiolab 7000A or TEAC AX-505 work well, or you can use separates like the Audiolab 9000Q preamplifier with the Onkyo Icon M-80 power amplifier.
Do the stands come in finishes to match the Capello 40?
They are finished to complement the Capello 40 loudspeaker aesthetic. Contact us to confirm current finish availability for your speaker.
Is the Capello 40 a DV version, and does that affect the stands?
The DV suffix refers to the Double Vision upgraded internal components package on the loudspeaker, such as finely selected Mundorf crossover parts, higher quality wiring, and top WBT terminals. It does not change the physical stand fit.
What warranty applies to these stands?
Gauder Akustik provides a 10 year parts and labor warranty to the original owner.
