I found these Silicone Pot Grabber pads at my local K-Mart and have found them to be very useful as speaker mounting pads.....compliant and lossy.

Seems like my local ones are quite a bargain !...K-Mart US does not give me access ??.
I found these Silicone Trivet for US$1.39 if you don't mind pink !.

K-Mart's a mess these days; like Sears & Roebuck they pretty much 'owned' their US consumer market niche and apparently thought they couldn't be knocked off their lofty perches.
Anyway, thanks! Didn't do a search other than K-Mart, but figured someone would have similar/same.

Surprised ..I thought Kmart was long ago driven out ..due to Dollarama taking all their customers. Clearly there are hold out stores in the hinterlands then
Even the relatively small boxes I've typically made/spec'd [~5 ft^3-up] would require one in each corner. 😉

IME all of the botton panel should be damped, ie full coverage is best.
I am using one under each narrowish tall deep 6.5" two ways mounted on vintage kitchen chairs as stands....works for me, wood stands sound better than steel stands somehow imho.
Over the decades I have tried a mega range of stands and pads and sheets in different materials and different configurations to provide isolation/damping/non slip/surface damage prevention etc.
I find these kitchen items provide secure compliant mounting and the knuckle test shows nicely less cabinet sound, and these would likely work especially well for desktop/pc speakers.

I found a two foot tall stack of promotional mousepads that they handed out for free at trade shows. They work pretty well.
I agree and have done exactly the same with a free stack of obsolete mouse pads !.
Just now I am trying some bubble wrap as a follow up experiment since decades ago and I reckon it's good, really good.
The stuff I am using is really thin, tomorrow I will go find some free thicker stuff and experiment 😎 .

Was in kmart today and had a good grope of these mats, got to tell my partner all about them too 😀😛
Blu Tack is the only product I use for attaching speakers to stands. I have one pair that’s had the same Blu Tack between it and the stands since I built them in 1992. During that time they have made several trips to friends houses as loaners and they have never separated, even after being carried from above the attachment points. No more than a 1” (25cm) square under each corner is needed. The isolation is superb but it’s like they are screwed to the stand.
