If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of?
Looking for speaker stands. At this point, I'm not sure of the height of my long term listening chair/couch, so I don't want to break the bank on stands.
Looking over different options (Sanus, Monoprice, Pangea, Skylan) raises a question — if a stand is can be filled (shot, sand, etc.), does it make much difference what it's made from (steel, MDF)? What is that difference, in your experience? (Listening, durability, aesthetics, etc.)
With the above in mind, any opinions on modestly priced stands? Perhaps 20" - 22" high?
(Again, I'm not in the market for expensive stands, right now.)
