AMP stands... DIY alterntives?

Not much of a 'stand,' but it works quite well (and it's stylish too boot!)

Here's my solution - I use it all the time and it looks great and is very sturdy. My local WalMart sells them too. Ten bucks....you're welcome!

This for the win. I just got one. Used it last night. Cheap, sturdy, light, quick to open and close. Thanks @bherman
FYI: There's an 18" tall unit available. 7" taller. Same top size.

I don't have a photo unfortunately, but I solved the "tilt-back" problem on my single 15" cabinet by permanently installing a spring-loaded recessed amp cabinet handle at the front bottom of the cabinet. It stayed totally out of the way, but all it required was to tilt the cabinet back and pull out the handle which made a very solid "stand" to tilt the cabinet.

The handle I purchased opened to an angle greater than 90 degrees that wouldn't let the handle fold in while there was weight on it.

Here's the type of handle I used, although I picked mine up at my Peavey dealer:

"Penn-Elcom H7154K Spring Flex Cabinet Handle Black" from www.parts-express.com!

Very good idea. I'm going to try it.
