Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber

Sonus Faber Olympica III's are my dream speakers. I love how they sound, but they are out of my price range. I need to stay at 10 or under. Can you guys recommend some alternatives. A local dealer recommended Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand, but they are not available for demo unfortunately. Thank you in advance.
I am using a MC275 and c2300 with sota sapphire (grade reference series sonata cartridge). My listening room is very big.

Martyki - I believe we both believe that the Cremona are warm speakers. All you are discussing is the degree of warmth. I just did not want the OP to get the idea from your post that Cremona were neutral or dark.

Here is a new option: my dealer can get me a great deacon Klipsch Palldiums (Which I think are beautiful). Or, a guy who lives close to me is selling Verity's Audio Parsifol.

I owned a pair of Verity Audio Parsifal Encores for many years, great speakers! In fact, I upgraded to the Parsifal's from VA Beethoven's and Strauss'. Any chance you can go and listen to the Parsifal's?
I have not heard the Klipsch Palldiums.

The Aerial Acoustics 7T is definitely not what I would call a warm sounding speaker, but to each his own.

Ditto for the Klipsch- I don't think anyone has called them warm, either.
