With my Dynaudio Focus 110A active standmounts I had reached something like personal audio nirvana. I enjoyed most of what I heard and missed very little. Sure you can do better but I was essentially enjoying the music and that's what mattered to me.
Having become the father of a boy who has recently taken a keen interest in poking around things, the whole setup has been relegated to storage. I simply cannot have the following around anymore
-shiny tweeter domes within toddler's arms reach
-metal stands that can be shaken
-loads of cables and plugs
-my Benchmark DAC or anything with metal switches, shiny leds etc
What am I left with? Can any of the current crop of corded Bluetooth speakers get me close to what I'd hear from my own setup? Perhaps a pair of Sonos speakers acting as L and R - but which model? I've been told the Teenage-Engineering OD-11 is good

however dropping 1k$ without auditioning seems a bit risky.
At a lower price point there's the Marshall Stanmore

And somewhere in between there's a 'Music' range by Dynaudio
https://www.dynaudio.com/home-audio/music/music-7
Any other ideas? I'd be mostly listening to a library of own CDs ripped to FLAC. Still have my records but the Planar 3 is sadly also gone. No need for tidal,spotify, etc.
