Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement?


I am looking for stands for my new Harbeth P3ESR XD speakers and wonder how much improvement one can actually hear between close to a $1000 stands and a $100 one filled with sand?

The list of frivolous stuff that audiophiles convince themselves as making a meaningful sonic difference seems endless.  I don't understand how a flimsy stand would improve the sound of a speaker with a flimsy cabinet (Stradivarius, yeah right).  Use a solid stand, play with the footers if anything, and let your speakers sound how they sound.  Of course, a real audiophile would suspend them from the ceiling using springs. smiley
