Best material for inexpensive amp stands


I have a pair of monoblocks in a wall unit right now. I would like to know which material might work better: a heavy piece of butcher block or some heavy granite. I do not want to spend a bunch of money on premade stands.

i glued together 2 pieces of mdf and finished them off nicely with sanding sealer and krylon paint..

heavy brass cones for feet (you can get the screw in inserts from a woodworking shop (also of brass)

Little work on my part, but relatively nice looking and accoustically dead. You can go a little further by applying some sound deadening material to the bottom (out of sight). Something like Dynamat.
TVAD... Agreed

The purpose of the dynamat was to help with any resonances in the mdf.

The brass cones should couple directly to the mdf..

Might have been more helpful if i had actually said all that originally huh?
