Speaker padding

[bmwuk]

I plan to put my new speakers on my existing stands. They are dual sided clamping style from Wali. I don't wish to scratch the finish with the metal on a glossy finish. I was looking at felt tape to put on the inside of each clamp so the felt would be touching the speakers and not the metal. Thoughts or better ideas?

I tend to go with one of these two options:

Thin neoprene foam rubber adhesive strip (available on Amazon). I has a roll of 2" wide by 1/8th inch thick neoprene I rely on often.

Rubber grip drawer/shelf lining from the grocery store.

Both work well.

The neoprene won't run off or mar the finish? If not that works

It shouldn't. I use it often.

Why would it rub off? Will the speaker be moving over it?

Nope. On the sides.

Well, naturally it depends on how much sideways stress is put on the foam.
