Loading speaker stands with?

I’m Proud of that cabinet, it started Tall, for a big CRT, with receding doors up top, hinged doors below, kind of like this

New Flat TV time, hmmm, I could use the lower portion, take the upper part off (it was two sections delivered, then joined).

But, I was going to need a new top? Marble, Interesting Opaque Glass, Matching Cherry Wood?

My son says, why don’t you use the top of the upper cabinet as the top of the lower cabinet? Never occurred to me.

Great idea, and I ended up with lots of matching cherry from the upper section, (solid wood, not veneer).

So, base unit, I took the hinged doors off, built two drawers, put the upper top on the base unit, and built the riser as mentioned above. Glass shelf on the riser for the TV.

Sand.  It's plenty dense enough, no need for lead.  Just make sure it's dried out first.

Lead shot is my preference.  Sand will absorb moisture over time and clump unless it's well dried first and sealed into the stand.

I recently got some skylan stands for harbeth.  The owner said metal shot and sand were too heavy and would effect the sound.  Sand seems like a mess waiting to happen also.  He suggested wood pellets used for smokers.  I already had those so was simple.  He also said to not fill the legs completely, again to not add too much mass.  I don’t understand why nor did I try to but maybe check with your stand and speaker mfg. 

The Sound Anchor stands I recently posted about, were factory made for Harbeth 40 Series. Worked perfectly for the Omegas.
