Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Jerry,

An audio buddy used a Monarchy SM70 for monitoring when he did on-site recordings. Being of modest size, weight, and price all helped but he would not have used it if the sonics were not up to his standards. And BTW his home system was bi-amped with much more expensive tubes and SS.

That was how I learned about Monarchy which has a somewhat low profile. Since then I've had personal experience with the Monarchy SE100s which I consider a great value. But that is only available as monoblocs and may have more power than you need.

Having suggested that, I am a fan of most c-j sonics I've experienced so would not argue against the MV75 Michael recommended if you want to consider tubes.
