How much lead and silica sand in speaker stands?


Is there a right amount of lead or sand in speaker stands? Do I fill them all the way to the top? Fill 1/2 way? Certain inert materials better than others? Do different materials effect the sound quality differently? Any esoteric comments appreciated!

Buy 5 pounds of sand and pack it in, a 4 pound stand... That will definitely be enough.. :-)

Pea gravel, is actually the best. Very, VERY, little settling, and sand you tamp, and it has to be dry..
Lead, well it is not to toxic, unless you breath it (heat it) or eat it.. It would be pretty expensive too. Lead ain’t cheap, it’s not gold but..Dry pea gravel is the best... Could hide your gold in them...Just sayin’
