Speaker stands - bit of help

[Brum Man]

I'm hoping someone can help me with a fairly simple problem, one that I can't think of the answer though!

I've just bought some Mission Stance speaker stands, however I got the display ones with some money off but the only problem is that they didn't come with any instructions.

The only thing that I'm a bit confused about is that they came with floor spikes, some bronzish spikes to rest the speakers on and some sticky pads. However, I'm not sure what to do with the pads!

I'm assuming that the speakers rest directly on the bronze spikes so what are the pads for :/ The bronze spikes seem quite sharp to rest the speakers directly on, as if they'd dig into the wood :/

Any suggestions greatful!

Swop them over, spikes on the bottom of the speaker stands, and pads on the bottom of the speakers.

Well that's what I was thinking, but it comes with enough spikes for both the top and bottom of them. When you look at a picture of them they use the spikes on the top, but surely they will ruin the speakers!

Might just use the sticky pads instead of the spikes on the top though, just seems odd that they come with both if they don't have a use for them both.
