    Yeah thanks for that.

    The sand stopped any ringing in the.metal stand, sure, but when you got to a point the Job was done.
    But what under the speakers...the screw in wee spike and locking nut, or Blutak directly toothed top plate?
    Kept me up at night that!

    Sand in stands, blutak under the speakers...brings back memories that.
    Target 22" stands and Mission 760i bookshelves, nice combo with the Pioneer A400 actually those wee boxes.

    Ran those until one day I came home from work and found my 5yr old had poked the tweeters in!
    I had my tweeters poked in at one time and small stones put in the speaker ports!

    As for spikes...my spkr stands, equip rack, floor speakers, and tube amp have them so I use them. No complaints from me and tighter bass too.
