Suggestions for filling speakers stands?

I am using some very good bookshelf speakers, and want to get the best sound out of em w/stands....and I was
wondering if anyone had some advice on what is the best way
to fill speaker stands for sonic conciderations?
I hear differing theories and views on this subject and am not certain on which way to go...Leadshot?...Sand?...combinations w/resin?..etc?...
....I've heard some say non vibrating or shifting fill is best for heat dissipation effects and so forth. But have also heard that solid resin filled stands are the way to go from others. Any input/advice?

I had printed a copy of a chat from 7/30/00, so I looked up the address for you. There are detailed explanations of a few excellent methods of filling speaker stands. Hope this link works, otherwise try searching for a thread titled "sand or shot for speaker stands?

I believe it was Target that offered Silicon for filling audio stands, but I am not certain if they are still in business.
