I'm Planning to build a pair of Amp stands for my Adcom 565 monoblocks. What are the best materials and are dimentions and floor type a consideration. Thanks Tony

I just built one for my pass labs x150.5.
Its a 20"x24" plank built from a 1x4ft pinewood shelf.
It was finished with cherry gel stain and polyurethane. It cost me about $30 for the shelf and all the materials.
For amp stands, I don't see why people should spend good money when they can use it to buy great music. Unlike turntables, amps do not need some exotic damping to sound good. As long as the stand is stable, I'm perfectly okay with it. I've a 4k amp sitting on a $30 HD amp stand and I miss nothing. The stand looks good and provides enough support.
So go the DIY route, and you'll never miss anything. I like santanaali's idea of using granite too. Granite looks good, and will provide stable support to the amp.
