Filling stands with sand or lead shot will improve the sound. I use playbox sand as suggested above. My stands (not B&Ws) came with plastic bags to fill with the sand so you don't get sand all over the place and so they don't leak. You can probably use a large trash bag for the same purpose.
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
