It is true that even a beefy hunk like me finds the Force to be a good substitute for single arm, behind-the-neck presses. In the same form factor, an 8" woofer with twin 4" mid-ranges and tweeters could work but it would be heavier for sure.
I have a plastic Sony tape deck/CD/radio boom box with detachable speakers that weighs almost nothing. I have to say when I separate the speakers around 8 feet and sit 12 feet away, the imaging is acceptable. No battery though and the sound quality is nothing like the Air. My $20 Logitech laptop soundbar with USB interface that I got at London Drugs 13 years ago sounds better than the Sony. That soundbar was an absolutely fantastic purchase BTW. I highly recommend it.
