I made mine from 1.5" maple because that's as thick as I could find. It seems to work fine. I have 1" brass cones on the bottom as it sits on carpet. Mapleshade (mapleshaderecords.com) seems to think that maple is the best. My only comparison is 1" MFD with no cones vs 1.5" maple with cones, and I like the second better. This is for larger 75 lb tube amps. I also have some 2A3 amps on maple with no cones and I plan to get some more cones and try them out later.
Home Made Mono-Block Amp Stands?
Greetings, I researched this on Audiogon however did not find a satisfactory answer. I am going to build a pair of amp stands out of maple for my Cary 2A3 monoblocks. How thick should the maple be, 1”, 1.5”, 2”, etc? Thanks for your assistance.
