If you run monitors, then you will need to also move stands, probably massed stands. A small floorstander makes more sense. Spendor A-5 is light, sounds good.
Speaker help....?
I previously ran Magnepan 1.6 with Metis pre and Odyssey Stratos. But I also run a HT and basically had to lug the Maggie's out for 2 channel listening. My room is somewhat large at 17X22.
So now I'd like to buy a sweet hybrid integrated amp (50 watts or more), such as a Vincent, Jolida or one of the nice rebadged variations and buy an "easy to move" speaker that won't hurt my aging bones when I want to listen.
Two front-runners are the Revel M22 and the Dynaudio 140. I'd prefer to run them without a sub, so some reasonable bass output is preferred. I've heard both and love them...along with the original M20, but want more options.
In short....what other speakers give these two a run for the money (new or used) for 2K or less? I'd consider a floor-standing model so long as it's easy to move. I'm even looking into the odd Duevel Planets. I heard a pair and was very impressed. So, would the Audiogon experts toss out some other ideas?
Thanks for any ideas, folks!
Bob
