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!

My experience is directly related to my speakers.  Maggies (I have 3.6 model) improve by orders of magnitude with the bracing of metal Mye stands on spikes.  The extra rigidity helps the sound greatly.

This is not germane to owners of box speakers, but critical IMHO for Maggies of all sizes.
