The Bostik can be found from time to time on Ebay. I have a question: If you use a straight pure playground-type sand from Home Depot, what is the proper amount to fill the stand tubes? I have read that filling to the brim makes for an over-damped sound. One guy found the best results filling with about 70%, the balance air. Anyone else have experience with X-amounts of sand to achieve the right results?
Sand and shot?
This question is really for what most bookshelf speakers sit on--the stand. I'm planning on filling a set of stands(24") but just have the sand presently. Do I really need lead shot as well or will the sand be enough. Most reviews I read on speakers mention stands with both. Any help would be most appreciated.
