Wondering if the vibrations of the speaker would affect the performance of the amp.
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.

@kennyc I’m going to have to live with that, but at the end of the day the amps have to go somewhere. I’d like to have as short a speaker cable as possible.
@phusis I’m not running a broad based research project here. I have specific needs I want to accomplish. I will use a stereo amplifier for each speaker and I will put each amplifier underneath a speaker. By an "ideal world" I mean it would be nice to have a stereo amplifier with built-in crossover and DSP in a shelf-ready form factor. All I can find in this regard are plate amps from Hypex or miniDSP which are meant for cabinets. I already have much of the ICEpower amplifiers I need. With some new cases I can build the stereo amps, but will still have to acquire a new miniDSP with balanced outputs. |
Hi everyone, So I've been doing some measurements and it looks like I can replace the existing speaker terminals and insert a plate amplifier that will fit my speakers. I didn't think this was possible because the Hypex plate amps are all too long, but miniDSP offers an ICEpower version that is perfect. My woodworking skills/tools are not up for the task though. I'm going to have to ask for help. This will solve all my connectivity problems! Thanks for your help,

Nailed it, plus room for future expansion... https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CRWVvXu-L._AC_SL1500_.jpg
