... so I take it you guys are not going to get anal about speaker stands ?



Nah! If the 22s don't fare well, we'll just blame it on your lousy choice of speaker stands.

Seriously, just be sure you isolate the speakers from the stands. Many stands come with small isolation pads.

I got a good deal on this soundproofing mat. I got one linear foot (they actually sent me 16") by 48" wide, of their half inch thick mat for $24 shipped. It was pretty easy to cut. Just score the surface with a sharp implement (I used a box cutter), and use a good pair of scissors to cut it the rest of the way through. It does a good job.
