Do I need to use filler in my speaker stands?

I ordered a pair of Skylan stands for my monitor speakers.
How important is it to fill the stand legs with fill material?
I'm mainly interested in improving imaging and transparency and getting the speakers to disappear.

The tonality I get now on on my monitors (not Harbeths) is about perfect to my ears on some little cheap Polywood tables I am using temporarily.

(Filling or un-filling stands with litter or sand is a really messy process and I'd like to avoid it unless if possible.)
Thanks in advance.

Well, I don't know how much it will actually change the sound, I doubt much if any really, but it will add ballast and help stabilize your speakers and keep them from easily tipping over. I would do it myself for that if no other reason. I would also use the heavest stuff that doesn't resonnate (salt over shoulder).

FWIW.
