Thanks for showing us!
And what you do you think of the new speakers?@!
You can probably nix the pads under your mains, they won't do much acoustically. If you are trying to protect the floor, get some of those beefy circular little rubber feet to put the speakers on. Then you won't even see them and it will do the same to protect your floor. Most of those rubber feet have an adhesive backing that you can use to stick them on the bottom of the speakers.
Great pictures too! What kind of camera?
