Re: Please help me.....

well two things happen that are beneficial. If you load the stand collum with sand then the sand will increase the weight of the structure which provides greater coupling to the floor and means better energy transmission away from the speaker. Second the sand particles can vibrate and when they do so it results in friction which means a loss of energy from physical motion to heat.(which is what insulation inside a speaker cabinate does). The sand damps the entire structure eating up resonance that you don't want. That's about it. Some folks believe that mass is the key issue and use lead shot rather than sand. I believe that you want a combination of loss (as a result of particle friction) and mass. Hope this helps. Talk to Noel as he is well experienced or you can read the reviews on Skylan products at 6 Moons. Regards.
