How much lead/sand to fill stand rack?
Hi,
I have a Atlantis Ref speaker stand 24" tall, 4 collums with 4"x4" for each collum. So, if I fill up 2/3 for each collum with lead shot, it'll take me 12 bags of lead shot (25lbs/bag) for one stand. However, if I mix lead with silica sand, it'll take me 2 1/2 bags of lead with 15lbs of sand for each stand. I did it yesterday, and my speaker stand now weight over 100lbs/stand. It's so heavy for me to move now because I weight only 120lbs. My question is the more heavier the stand the better? Do I really need to fill up 2/3 of the height of the stand like people suggesting? What the sound will be like if I fill up 1/3 or 1/2 of the collum's height? Please help
Thank you very much
