What to use between Devore Gibbon 3x and its dedicated stand?

I acquired a pair - love their sound - using nearfield.

They arrived with small rectangular sticky pads on the stands - 4 on each stand. They are in pretty bad shape and need to be replaced.

Does anyone know if they are the factory pads or perhaps aftermarket?

I was thinking of small dollups of Blue Tak as a replacement. Any recommendations?

I don't want to go with anything too large like IsoAcoustics. I use them on larger speakers and I know they are great, but I think they would defeat the purpose of the dedicated stands.

I’m very interested in what you find out. The Gibbons 3x have always intrigued me. What are you driving them with?

I've had them a little over a week. They are paired with a powered 12" closed box subwoofer. Placed in very close nearfield position (about 6' from ears). Sound is amazing - best imaging and soundstage I've ever experienced. I've never had speakers dialed in like these. I have a pair of ProAc Response D2R for comparison. Also an outstanding speaker. Each has its own strengths, price is in same ballpark when Devore stands are included. Undecided which pair I will keep.

I"m driving them with Audio Research Reference Ref 3 pre and Ref 75 amp - both tubed components. I believe the ProAc's were voiced with ARC, and the Devores are tube friendly.
