Amp Stands - Wood or Stone


I'm in the process of relocating my audio equipment to a side wall and need to place my amps, AGD Audions, on something.  Floor is carpeted.  Stands will be very small and won't be supporting much weight.  I have access to granite, marble, etc. (next to nothing scape from remodel jobs).  Also, have pretty good relationship with a serious wood worker who is happy to cut maple, oak, cherry, most any hardwood, etc.  Cost is not really an issue just looking for an opinion / logic around which material I should use.  At this point, I'm thinking 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick walnut on some kind of cone / spike legs. Sorry for maybe a dumb question!

I would opt for a platform where the frequency range is well above and below the range of human hearing. You cannot hear it nor will it influence the sonic of your system. 

If the platform arrives with a specified vibration management system based on material science, physics, and geometry and is designed into the stand then you eliminate a lot of guessing and additional expenses where those funds could be used to purchase more music or finer equipment.
