Usher CP-63XX owners, have you added Lead Shot?

I am awaiting my 6381's to arrive at the dealer this week, but am curious how many of you that own speakers from this line, have added either sand or lead shot? After looking at the prices of shot, it is quite a bit more expensive than sand, but should not be as messy. Did you notice any difference in sound quality, or are these speakers already heavy enough?

Thanks

I have a lot of lead shot that I used in speaker stand and don't use it anymore. If anyone live close to Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, you can get it for free. I remember I brought 4 or 5 bags and each bag is about 50 or 100 lbs. Anyway, I don't remember exactly but I know I have a lot.

Is lead shot dangerous if they are not ingested? Does lead shot give off fumes? I do have small children so this is pretty important to know.

toxic when touched, and the chance that residue from the shot inself can enter the air for decades. not worth the risk to you or family.

Interesting thread! I am considering the purchase of 200lbs of #8 lead shot in 25lb bags to use as ballast for the back of my Myesound Stands on the Maggies. The thought was to keep them in the bags and lay them in a custom made box to fit on the back of the stands. The only common element denser (i.e. heavier) than lead shot is lead itself (blocks, sheets, etc.). Permanently sealing the box with the lead inside shouldn't be a problem as I see it...You?
