Filling my speaker stands to weigh it down?


I am using the B&W 602S2 and the metal B&W speaker stands (the box says they're for the 601). I read about filling the stand's hollow leg with sand to weigh it down and dampen the vibrations.

Does anybody have recommendations on filling the stands? Does anybody use fillers? I thought about BBs or lead shots but it cost quite a bit of $$ to fill up two speaker stands (The stands were only $50).

Will it even make a difference if I filled it or not?

THanks

I invested in about $200 in lead shot to keep for a long time! IF I ever sell stands, i just empty the shot into the next pair of stands. It's worth the investment to me.
