Speaker match for Plinius 8200 Mk II

Any recommendations for speakers that sound good with the Plinius 8200 Mk II integrated amp? I'm wanting a full-range, three-way speaker pair in the $4000-$5000 (retail) price range. I want something that weighs in at less than 100 pounds (45 kilos). I'm looking for a straight forward, sealed box design - no ported boxes and nothing such as electrostatics, etc.

Speaker cable recommendations to go with the speaker recommendations would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance.

Totem Forest despite being only two way but weigh 100lB per pair and dive onto 20Hz at ease with -3db. and to 26Hz flat.
They're great for medium and small size rooms.
Dynaaudio 1.3 or 1.8 might also match your quest.

Don,
The ultimate solution:
You can buy directly from Germany Avantgarde Solo active speakers for arround $6000 with horn midrange and tweeter and you won't need Plinius 8200 -- it's an easy component to sell since everyone loves it.
They're not ported and can stay close to the walls. The sound... well, great for neary any kind of music. Moreover they're fully adjustable: vertical angle, bass crossover point...
Later-on you can get some 1...2W/ch 2A3 SET to drive the horns as for the valuable upgrade.
