loss of bass after filling stands


Have a pair of B&W matrix 805 and purchased Lovan Ballet stands at the suggestion of a local B&W Dealer. Listened to them for a week without filling them. After filling with sand I sense a loss of some low end. Has anyone experienced this. I also have them on marble tiles as my floor is carpedted(over concrete floor). Any suggestions.

Spiking and filling your speaker stands may give you tighter bass, but not the deepest bass your 2 way speakers are capable of. Place vibrapods between speaker and base
and you will experience deeper more extended bass.....only takes a couple minutes to try. Floor standing speakers are a different matter.
