A speaker stand with room for an amp?

I have rather large 2-way stand/bookshelf speakers and I'm thinking of going 100% active with them.  They have an external passive crossover already, so there's nothing to rewire internally.  What would be nice is if there were room for a small Class D stereo amplifier to be hidden in the stand.  Even better if it was adjustable for angle.

If you have mono amps, I would put each mono amp under each speaker, it also saves space and it allows you to keep your speakers cables very short.

@erik_squires,

In my opinion, amps inside speakers is not a good idea because the amps are subject to all the vibrations and air pressure inside the speaker cabinet. Also the speaker drivers emitting EMF's and interfering with the amplifiers power supply. I am a proponent of horizontally bi-amping speakers with an active crossover. Good luck with your project! 😎
