Love the longer-form post, too, but the headline said it all. You're totally right.

So they potentially turn you into a real Hillbilly.

Star Warsian Retro Vehicles

The headline is a little bit misleading - it refers to all of the vehicles as "Star Wars' ancestors", but the descriptions under the images only suggest that two of them look "like Star Wars": this one http://einestages.spiegel.de/external/ShowTopicAlbumBackground/a1771/l3/l0/F.html#featuredEntry and this one http://einestages.spiegel.de/external/ShowTopicAlbumBackground/a1771/l27/l0/F.html#featuredEntry ("At least the spectacular design has influencend the fantasy vehicles from 'Star Wars'").

Another one http://einestages.spiegel.de/external/ShowTopicAlbumBackground/a1771/l12/l0/F.html#featuredEntry is described as looking like a car from Gotham City, and then there's one http://einestages.spiegel.de/external/ShowTopicAlbumBackground/a1771/l37/l0/F.html#featuredEntry that is connected with a story by H. G. Wells.

Tell Me About Studio Monitors

If you want to reduce vibrations, you should get some spikes, for example: www.amazon.com/Dayton-DSS4-BC-Black-Chrome-Speaker/dp/B0002KR8H6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1202498371&sr=8-4 They can uncouple the speakers from their sourrounding.

I don't know that much about speakers either, but I think I remember that most compact audio speakers (those that you place in your shelf and not on the floor), in contrast to studio speakers, are trimmed to sound better with some surrounding as a resonating body. That's why I think spikes would be quite a nice enhancement for your configuration, and they don't cost that much either.
