Stands make a huge difference with ProAc

I just purchased a pair of second hand Response 2, I'm very happy with the vocals etc, but a speaker of this size should produce more BASS. I'm using some decent quality wood stands for now. Would some heavy duty Target R2 stands make a huge difference. I'm also using SS with a passive pre, I may have to invest in a tube amp. They just don't sound like they did at the dealer some time ago. I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. I don't want to give up on them yet though because I've read some very good reviews.

I completely agree with the above statement by Edesilva.
When I recieved my responce 2s I was very anxious to hear them. I did not have the stands so, I placed them on top of the packing cartions. The sound was terrible. I called my dealer and while laughing at me told me to wait for the stands. When I recieved the stands, I laughed too. These speakers are a sonic wonder. in addition to the RS2 stands,
they must be downloaded with sterile sand or lead buckshot.
This too provides a significant improvement. If you feel that you are not getting these stands, sell your Proacs & buy the Legend Audio, but do not forget their respective stands.

Theaudiotweak,
HUH ? I would think that the resonance energy would get trapped by the sand particles & disperce unless its sand from Coney Island. Look, all I know is that when I moved I removed the sand from tha stands & got rid of it.
I thought that these stands weighed enough & I don't need to make them any heaver. As soon as I set up my system & played a CD, I shut it off, went to Toys R us and bought some sterile sand.
