Help needed regarding purchase of Amp Stands.


I've stuck my toe into the world of Monoblocks, and because my current shelving dictates the amps will "live" on the floor I need to buy a pair of amp stands.

Can the forum please share it's knowledge re what to look for in a pair of quality stands. Brand recommendations welcome, too. Thanks.

I've been experimenting with amp isolation for quite a while. I don't know that there is any one answer that fits all needs, although I hear the Grand Prix is the best out there, pricey though.

When listening to various isolation components I first listen for any dampening effect. No one can tell you how much or little dampening you may want, experimentation is necessary. Your choice will also be largely dictated by whether your floor is suspended or on a slab. If it is suspended I would first find a way to mass load the floor where amps will be located, I use massive slabs of concrete (fireplace threshold). I've also heard that jack stands supporting the floor directly underneath stands works well. Equipment racks that are spiked directly into a suspended floor are compromised greatly.
