Flynntom,
I chose the cheep route 16" paver on the bottom 6 8x8x16 cinder blocks with a 16" paver on the top. I built 2 units due to the fact that I have 1 integrated, 2 amps and an av processor. I then built a 2 shelf stack out of 1-1/8" pine for each one. (impatience is what determined the pine). These stands will eventually go on points and I will choose a different shelf material. The cinder block/paver is rock solid short of pouring a concrete stand IMO the way to go unless you have to have the aesthetics.
