What do you recommend for a 2 or 3 monolight setup that would work with a GX7

I currently am using 3 flashes on light stands with pass-through umbrellas synched to my camera with Yonguo RF602 RX/TX. I can't say if my light stands are standard so I'd likely need to get somethign compatible with the lights. Although they may be. I'll update the thread with some pics of the light stands. I'd probably want new ones as the ones I have are somewhat flimsy.

It works great but I'm about ready to upgrade to Monolights as I want a bit more power.

I am looking for a soft-box setup, can be in a kit or something I put together.

My budget will be around $700.

Something with a standard accessory mount (Bowens?) would be good.

Will be generally used for portraits. Nothing fancy or high-fasion, yet

I've done some research and as we know, the GX7 doesn't have a flash port but does have the hot-shoe.

Some monolights have built in radio recievers that are compatible with some transmitters.

For example the Godox DE series wrks with the FT-16 triggers.

Anyways, I like B&H Photo for shopping but I am in Canada so also Henrys and Vistek for catalogs if you're looking.

I appreciate any input you can offer!
