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!

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
- Schopenhauer

Many people, good listeners with excellent systems, are subject to that phenomenon. What you see and how you interpret it affects your interpretation of what you are hearing. We are all subject to this at some level.

Maybe it's just my ridiculously sensitive hearing and hyperactive neurons, or maybe it's all the tubes in my phono amps, preamp and power amps, but I can hear differences in the sound of different supports beneath the amplifiers. Quasi-authoritative proclamations that this is impossible indicate that your situation may differ entirely.
