A speaker stand with room for an amp?


I have rather large 2-way stand/bookshelf speakers and I'm thinking of going 100% active with them.  They have an external passive crossover already, so there's nothing to rewire internally.  What would be nice is if there were room for a small Class D stereo amplifier to be hidden in the stand.  Even better if it was adjustable for angle.

It's all good, @mrdecibel I'm having some of those thoughts myself.  I am going down the route of very small Class D amps, with very short speaker cables.

@yogiboy  - Excellent recommendation, but about 5-8" too short I'm afraid.  The general form factor is perfect though. 

I think I should have gone looking at Butcher Block first, they have what I need with their speaker stands, even better if I can have them put a third shelf in below the top shelf.

If you have mono amps, I would put each mono amp under each speaker, it also saves space and it allows you to keep your speakers cables very short.

Since this project is to convert my two way speakers from using passive crossovers to active I would like to have 1 stereo amplifier under each speaker and use one channel for the tweeter and another for the woofer.

In an ideal world, the DSP crossover and stereo amp would be one unit, but I will probably end up with a crossover under the processor, and run a pair of balanced cables to each amplifier.
