Re: The idea, as I see it (other than stablility) is to...

drain the vibration off of the speaker cabinets as quickly and evenly as possible (without creating additional resonance peaks) and then disburse it (send it to the floor). I prefer Silica sand for this which should be available in dry sterile form at most lumber yards on the cheap. All sand it not created equally as it comes in different basic shapes. If you have springy wood floors, you might try not filling them (the stands) completely (if you want to go to the bother) and slowly keep adding sand to see how it effects the sound. If you have sturdy floors (plaster or cement) then I have found that my personal preference is to add more weight/mass and to just fill the stands up to the top. I have far too much time on my hands and have already experimented with various combo's (including all shot and also sand/shot mixtures) and prefer just the Silica sand alone. The speakers that I have used by Castle and Reynaud are not that much different than your 602's, I would think, and I have used both bolt together Anaconda and one piece Target HR stands.
