One post and fillable for extra mass, so not necessarily in support of your theory. Btw, long before his speakers became popular in the US, I asked Alan for advice on stands, and he said the only, only, purpose of the stand is to get the tweeters up to ear height, and mass and material don't make any difference to the sound. With your speakers in particular, an open frame is better than a massive stand with solid posts because the posts would reinforce some part of the bass spectrum, acting as an elongated baffle.
