@tonediary I completely understand. It's a big 'hit' especially relative to the 2s. If you do not have any isolation (other than the feet/footers/base supplied) I highly, highly recommend some form of isolation. My opinion - speaker isolation is as important as the cabling you choose to use with the speakers. In some cases, the upside is even greater.
You have a number of options. The GAIAs are an easy one to try out and if you go through the right channel, are easily returnable.
