HTB200 -
Dude, you could start your own "Speaker stand filler" thread.
Good stuff.
A 5/21 email from Sound Anchor (good email updates/customer service so far...):
(bold added by me)
"I have three more solutions for you.
If you're concerned about the dust and dirt you can get washed and graded silica sand for about eight dollars per 50 pound bag. The primary use for this sand is sandblasting so it may be sold in your part of the country as sandblasting sand. It is sold in different mesh sizes. Another type of sand that is super clean is the sand that they put in ashtrays in restaurant and hotel lobbies.
Another completely different solution is Kitty litter. Fine-grained unscented Kitty litter is generally dust free, readily available and cheap. Kitty litter is made of clay it is fairly inert and has good damping qualities."
I may wait until I get the stands and play with moving them around some and then decide on a solution.
I'll try to explore Gander Mountain, etc. for options.

* Special stuff - tried 2 different things many years ago. While I felt cool it wasn't worth the $
* Cat Liter - Filled speaker pedastals with this. Put a garbage back in stand and pored it in. worked well but dusty and created a mess later in life when I need to make some changes and the bags torn. But for Large Volumes it was a better value the other stuff. Not as dense but good value.
* Sand - I actuall did this before the cat litter and ran into moisture issue. My stuff was in the basement and even though it was a walk out the humidity was high and it caused real problems with rusting a rod that was in the pedastal and warped it. That's what let me to cat liter and bagging.
* Lead shot - We've discussed. BTW, you can get it at Gander Moutain in large bags. I used one per pedastal. Don't know what the cubic size would be compared to yours.
* Steel shot - look at it at Dick's sporting goods and Gander. These are basicailly bb's for bb guns. It was more expensive than lead and I'm not an evironmentalist
