In Reply to: Sand or Steel Shot for deadening speaker stands? posted by oldmkvi on September 21, 2016 at 12:25:40:
Stability and proper coupling are my main concerns.If I was using typical small standmounts that tend to roll off below 80 hz or so I would probably not bother with the use of fill unless my stands were really lightweight ones. Or just for kicks, I'd try kitty litter as fill.
If I was using untypical standmounts with relatively deep bass extension I would probably use the heaviest stands and the heaviest fill I could find. Personally, I would avoid the use of lead shot. Sand, steel shot, or a combination of those two would be my choice.
I don't bother with messy fill any longer. I chucked my hollow lightweight stands years ago in favor of more substantial heavy-gauge steel stands.
I now use SolidSteel SS-6 stands. While the SS-6s are fillable, I don't bother. They have ball bearing contacts and extra-large and pointy spike feet. And they are quite heavy in stock form. Also, my standmounts don't output much below 70 hz. Subwoofers do the deep bass duties.
I also use small, thin squares of sheet sorbothane between speakers and stands for a sticky, vibe-damping interface. So I'm not too worried about audible vibration transfer.

- The lower your standmounts go, the heavier the fill should be. - genungo 11:29:33 09/24/16 (0)
