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 forgot to credit @pindac w suggestion of tankwood…. very nice stuff…makes a wonderful armboard also….

Some of us have our favorite brands, for me it’s HRS and Core Audio designs, both deeply rooted in both physics and sharp listening skills. Some of us also have a DIY bent. to the OP you would be wise in your adopted approach to adopt the constrained layer approach suggest by @bdp24 and possibly incorporate a top plate of Panzerholtz. Wishing you all the best on your project….in music
