I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking?


I guess i realize he was NOT joking, but it seems strange. I've always heard sand was best. He told me to get unscented kitty litter and fill em all the way up. The stands are 29 inches with 4 columns (2x2). Monitors are 23 pounds each.

Anyone done this with a positive result?

My Totem Arros have mass loading chambers.  I used rice.  Figured that in the event of Zombie Apocalypse I could break open the stash. 
The retro looking stands that I use for my JBL 4319s use some kind of injectable sound deadening foam. When I first got them, I tried rapping on different spots/locations and got different, thought deadened, responses. Seems to work well enough.

All the best,

How about Granny's cremation remains?
I told my wife to do anything she wanted with my ashes, just not in the kitty litter. 
Just a follow up in case someone else has the same question. 
I used non clumping clay based unscented kitty litter. I filled both Pangea DS400 stands with two 15 pound bags. The stands were heavy before filling and now they are like statues. It worked out great, sounds clean and tight.
