What are those sinister looking things - are they the leather sandbags Struth mentions in the next post? And does sand have acoustic properties that my 5kg weights don't? After Dave's point that Spendor SP!s need to flex a little as part of the design I've put the weights on the bottom of the stands. This seems to have the same affect, and is less intrusive.

I can't comment on your 5kg weights, but sand particles (and other stone particles/granules) interlock mechanically and resist vibration very well. Try kicking a bag of sand, hardly going to ring is it!Originally Posted by JohnNB
This makes it a good material for filling stands for instance.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

If the o.p. is prepared to cut into the floor I suggest getting the wobbly bit sorted instead.

I wonder if a Seagram's Crown Royal bag filled with lead shot would do the same thing?

Looks like a morbidly obese rat wearing a red bolo tie. I think the novelty of having those things staring at me every time I try to listen to music would wear thin pretty quickly. Like before the first album side is done.

probably would. think sand or grit blast would be better than ball shot. you want something that links well with its neighbours if possible

I might be incorrect, however I think that the Entreq Rat's do in fact contain small metal shot.
