I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking?

I guess i realize he was NOT joking, but it seems strange. I've always heard sand was best. He told me to get unscented kitty litter and fill em all the way up. The stands are 29 inches with 4 columns (2x2). Monitors are 23 pounds each.

Anyone done this with a positive result?

The retro looking stands that I use for my JBL 4319s use some kind of injectable sound deadening foam. When I first got them, I tried rapping on different spots/locations and got different, thought deadened, responses. Seems to work well enough.

All the best,

Depends. Where did he tell you to put the kitty?

Kidding aside, kitty litter has been used since the beginnings of this hobby for those who couldn't afford lead shot or something better. Some even preferred it to sand.
