"so, is there a benefit to having a pair on top of each speaker (just resting there - not mounted) or tape both to the back?"These devices are most effective if the interface between the absorber and the speaker is very intimate.
That is why the Tekna-sonics absorbers employ the magnetic pads. One pad is attached to one of the speaker panels and the other is attached to the absorber and the strong magnetic attraction makes for a VERY intimate mating surface.

The varying sizes of absorbers are "tuned" to different bands of frequencies and one needs to experiment with the absorbers to see which size is most effective for each application. If it were me, I would experiment with the D-8's on components rather than doubling up on the speaker OR U could try mounting the D-8's to the base of your AVF speaker stands :-)
What type of tape R U using and is the whole contact area being utilized? Remember, the absorbers efficiency will be drastically reduced if only part of the contact area is used.
U may want to check out the magnetic sheeting at the link provided.
