Filling speaker Stands?
I suggest you do not use Sorbothane. I have found that it sucks the life out of some components and creates a muffled effect, plus it will leave a residue on the surfaces it comes in contact with. I recommend Herbie's fat dots for isolation between your speakers & the stands.

Another option is cast steel shot if not willing to take precautions. [ dust mask, gloves although the one time exposure level is so low as to be inconsequential ] Its density it about 75% of lead. Sand is barely 15% Rice is probably not a good idea as it is organic and not very dense. Rice may damp, but is unlikely to eliminate tube resonance. It's density is half of sand. Sorbothane has improved everything where used. One must get the right size and duro. As far as marking, who cares about the bottom of the speaker? Sorbothane creates a unit of the stand and loudspeaker. Other materials may not. |
