Skylan speakers stands-how much sand?

I searched the forums but did not find any specific information.

I received a pair of Skylan 26" single post speaker stands yesterday. Noel suggested loading the stands with play sand, about 15 lbs. per speaker. I filled them with sand today, tamping on the top of the stands to pack the sand down.

I listened to my system yesterday, prior to adding the sand, and again today, after adding the sand. The highs seem to be muted and the speakers seem less open after filling the stands with sand.

Is it my imagination? The speakers are Spendor S3/5's.

What should I fill the Skylan Stands with? Thanks.
I spoke to Noel at Skylan and he advised me to use PURINA MAXX kitty litter for my 4-pillar Harbeth SHL5 stands, but I cannot find this litter in the U.S. or online anywhere.
So what should I use? (The above posters mention clay litter or play sand, but I just wanted to ask again. I started a new thread on this before I found this post, by the way.)

And how much litter do I need?

Noel also advised filling the stand up 100%, so any more
experience with how much to use is also welcome.

Thanks in advance.
