| What to fill Skylan stands with for Harbeth SHL5s Use kiln-dried sand. This is all you need, and it's cheap. Buy it at your local home hardware. Don't bother with lead-shot, cones, or any type of 'filler'...it does not and will not affect sound quality. | |

| I need some advice on High End Car Audio... Went through this stage about six years ago. I quit a few years ago and haven't looked back--tradeoffs just weren't worth it. JMO | |
