Sea shore sand is generally accompanied by corrosive sea salt unless its
washed & well dried. Internal surfaces of undipped stands unprotected
against corrosion. Kids play sand is very clean + cheap enough, saves all
that hassle. Vaughan Williams Sea Symphony will sound okay then.

Extending from what you said, Arny, do you think there is no value in any
stands that attempt to tightly couple speakers to the floor/wall? What do
you think of filling things with sand?

I filled mine with sand, but because I live overlooking the sea and
thought
I might as well. I can't say if the sound improved because I didn't listen
to them empty. If I lived anywhere else I don't think I'd have bothered.
