I have RTi6's, should I get stands that I can fill or does it really matter? I was looking at the Sanus EF24b.

    I totally agree. I own a pair of RTi6's on Plateau ST series stands.

    How big should the stands be? I was thinking 24"-28".

    I like the tweeter at ear level and solid stands have made a definite impact on sound for me. www.racksandstands.com and www.standsandmounts.com have quite a lot to choose from.

    I was thinking of going with the Omni Mount Cosmic 31", it is a fillable stand made out of alluminum. What do you guys think about this one?
