Here is the cheapest amp stand you can buy. They look okay, as they are just plain old black amp stands. (They have very little isolation, except for their floor spikes and small rubber cushion buttons, that the shelf sits upon.)
I bought mine used from a friend for $75 for the pair.
He went on to buy some really nice looking Zoethecus cherry wood trimmed stands (used) for about $700 a pair, and then upgraded again to some great stands (Grand Prix Audio, I think) for about $3,500 a pair. His system sounds great, and he thinks the stands have helped a great deal, especially the Grand Prix Audio stands. (To be honest, I really have not heard the difference myself, but then again, I don't live with his system everyday, so I can't say for sure if they work or not.)
I use these same stands for my amps, and while I probably could (and maybe should) buy something better, it is just difficult for me to spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on stands that sit 3 inches off the floor, and which amps, (with no moving parts), sit upon. (I'd rather put the money into better equipment or music myself.) My wife thinks they look just fine too.
