How much lead and silica sand in speaker stands?


Is there a right amount of lead or sand in speaker stands? Do I fill them all the way to the top? Fill 1/2 way? Certain inert materials better than others? Do different materials effect the sound quality differently? Any esoteric comments appreciated!

Steel shot is a little more environmentally friendly than lead.  Supposedly dust-free kitty litter is also an option.
I suspect some blend of the possibilities that fills all cavities might work best.
