adding mass to 805 stands to reduce floor vibration

[bmott]

i have heard most people use play sand from home depot to fill their stands, but does anyone know a good place to buy steel shot? i am trying to find a b&m store or someone on the internet with a good reputation. what size steel shot do people use? BB sized? i am under the impression that steel shot would be better but more expensive then sand.

i want to try and add as much weight as possible so the bass from my 805;s doesn;t get transferred to my hardwood floors, and to my neighbors. would a bunch of steel shot (25lbs per speaker) be the correct route to take?

Try a gun/ammunition shop. Some sporting goods stores that carry guns would probably have as well. I just use sand for my 805S stands...works fine, as long as it's clean (doesn't promote rust from the inside).
