I'm using 24", two-post Skylan stands under a pair of EOS HD monitors. I found Noel's stands to be a bargain, well-designed, rigid and non-resonant when filled with a combination of lead shot and washed playground sand. I used 6 lbs of #9 lead shot mixed with about 14 lbs. of sand in each post. (About 40 lbs./stand) The lead shot is mixed with the sand from the bottom to middle of the post; sand only from the middle to top. While the results are quite good, I'm going to add more shot and sand and have a listen to see if the added weight makes a sonic difference. I also use 4 Herbies Audio Labs Square Fat Dots under each speaker. These are specially formulated for loudspeaker decoupling and are quite effective. They will tame floor resonance, tighten the bass, and allow more detail to be revealed in the music. One Harbeth SHLBs owner who uses the Fat Dots claimed "the sound opened up considerably."
