RE: Sand in the Skylans?

Funny, when Noel lent me a pair to compare with JMR Magic Stands, he said to fill them with kitty litter!

Skylans, Magic Stands, and steel stands (Audio Note, Sound Anchor ) - the latter filled with lead shot and masonry sand, all sound different from one another. With Reynauds, the Skylans have punchier bass in the 90-100 Hz range, Magic Stands have clearer but less punchy bass and a smoother midrange, and AN stands have stronger fundamental bass but a less smooth midrange.

Magic Stands are solid MDF, so no filling. Lead and sand make a huge difference with the steel stands, reducing their resonance from a 'bong' to a 'tuck.' I never tried anything but kitty litter in the Skylans.
