Small Floorstander?

I'm looking for suggestions for a small floorstander that's small/light enough to be moved in and out for listening sessions. The listening position would be in the middle of at 25x20 space, so they would be far from the back wall. I'm looking for something balanced and on the warm side of neutral, hopefully not bass shy like a monitor. I use Herron M1A amps and I listen to all kinds of music from Jazz to Rap except not any rock. Budget is up to $5k used.

A pair of Daedalus Athena V2's just came on--grab them. They even come with wheeled platforms so you can move them around. Sound is exactly what you are looking for and they are in your price range.

I have D7s and I although they are small relative to many floorstanders I don't consider them easily portable and readily shuffled in and out of a listening area.  They are 38 inches tall and weigh close to 50 lbs each.

Immediately thought of Maggies though you'll probably want a sub with them.  Fortunately the sub isn't so placement-specific and doesn't usually need to be moved for listening sessions.

Klipsch Heresy IIIs...they make up for their low height by being tilted up on supplied little bases, and are absolutely world class sounding little gems. Add a sub and they're even better.

They might be a little heavy for your requirements and they are certainly unique looking (some hate the ultra modern spaceship look) but a pair of used Gallo 3.1's or 3.5's. I think they weigh in at about 55-65lbs, but are small and I have little problems moving them in and out of listening position.
