Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber

Did you audition the floor standing SF Venere? They also sound quite nice. IMO. There are some nice used SF Elipsa's out there too, which I prefer over the Olympica's as I have auditioned both. Again, just my opinion. Good luck in your quest. Hunting for new loudspeakers can be a lot of fun!

From what I can see, your dream speakers go for $13.5K. Maybe you should just stretch a bit and buy them? It's nice to have something you really like, rather than buy something for a few bucks less and keep thinking about how you wish you had something else.

Used original Cremona can be had for less than half that price. I like them better than the Cremona M that replaced them. The original Cremona are fuller and lusher to my ears. Some think them colored and like the M better. They match well with McIntosh equipment, although I have not heard the Cremona with your equipment. Just be sure the speakers can be traced to an original sale from an authorized US dealer as Sumiko can be a problem if repairs are every needed and you cannot prove they were purchased from an authorized US dealer. Used Cremona M are readily available here and Cremona do come up from time to time.

What is a room dimension?

Good luck in your search.
