Amp Stands that won't break the bank
 

OK - still zeroing in on the set up for the new room. I am going to have the amps adjacent to the speakers and need amp stands. I will be on a cork floor (I have a nice wool rug for the listening area, but this will be in the front of the room, off of the rug). Since the bank is already broken, I don't want to break it again, but also don't want to just sit the amps on the floor. Thus, as in everything, I'm looking for something that performs way beyond its price point.

Possibilities revealed thus far include something from IsoAcoustics and the Auralex subdude (or another auralex platform)? Any others come to mind?

All thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Adona Corporation AV45AS is reasonably price and holds up to 300lbs...used them for years for amps, subs and soeaker stacks. Definitely will not break the bank and can grow in pieces and sections/levels as you need them.

Been using early AV45AS since 2005-2006. They have improved since then as well.

Adona Zero GX1 is a personal favorite as is their other top reference line.

Love mine

Budget is always subjective but for the price the VTI BL404 is a very good choice at about 100$. There is also the 34000 model that looks nice. I personally have the BL404 rack and really like it. You can choose the frame color, shelf finish, spikes and caps colors. The shelf can be easily scratched if not careful but it’s not that bad.

Here is an inexpensive amp stand ($30).

Very happy with my stands from Audio Vibration Control (https://audiophilevibrationcontrol.com). I believe I paid $195 per stand.

8" X 8" X 16" Concrete Blocks aka Cinder Blocks. $1.45 each at Home Depot.

My wife banned cinder blocks and plywood stands 30 years ago when I moved my system into our first home. Wasted a lot of money on fancier stands since then.

Cheap amp stands:D? Ok then; I have $115 into my pair.

:snicker: If that's all she banned, you have been fortunate! :yes:
