bass affected by stand filler level?
Does the level of sand in speaker stands have a noticeable effect on bass performance? I have a pair of Dynaudio Focus 140's on Dyn's Stand 4 stands. I have had them since February. They are fully broken in. I have both tubes filled full with sand. Will the bass be fuller if less sand is used. I use a Musical Fidelity a3.2 integrated and a3.2 cd player. I also have a Rel Strata III sub. Please limit your answers to the specific question; refraining from suggestions regarding amp changes. With two kids in college my upgrade wish list at this time is just that- wishes. Thanks for your input.
