I have 2 granite blocks under speakers, with Audio Resolution platforms between the speaker and stand. LOVE the combo.
I have another granite slab (about 24" x 15" x 2" high) for under my amp, have good and bad results. Some loss of "life" to the music, though the bass tightens and it seems overall a little quieter in the background.
I haven't tried maple under the amp, but I think that granite under speakers and maple under amp might be extremely good.
Post if you try different combo's out.
PS: Marble would be big bucks. I got granite "extras" at a stone yard for cheap. 2 12" x 12" x 16" granite blocks, ~300lbs each (!) for $100; and 2 granite shelves, one is 1" and the other the 2" thick mentioned above, both for $25 !
