sand versus shot in speaker stands


recently purchased monitors and stand for bedroom and do not know if i should fill stand or not. if the stands should be filled what material should be used. i always read about stands being sand or shot ready, but i must admit i do not know what is meant by shot and where one goes to by shot.

thanks in advance for the help

I used garden pebbles (also called beach pebbles or river pebbles). You can get many different types. You can even use Pea gravel although it needs a good washing first, but it's super cheap. anyway, you can get garden pebbles pretty cheap, and you can get mixed or quartz or whatever and you can get very small ones -- the small ones are very dense and are no mess to work with, pour easily, more desnse than kitty litter, don't retain moisture, don't make any dust.
