Looking to get into Sonus Faber on a budget... Is it worth it?

I recently visited a showroom in Atlanta and fell in lust with Sonus Faber products, which seems easy to do asthetically and for the sound.

I cant stop thinking about them but largely out of my budget ($2-3k) for new speakers.

My current, modest set up is:
Denon DP47F Turntable (fully restored)
Jolida JD9 Tube Phono Pre Amp with "upgrade 1" package
Jolida JD3502 Tube Amp (integrated - 60x2)
B&W DM604s1 Speakers... They sound good but I dont believe they’re a great match for the amp and lackluster looks

I think I could get into a used pair of Venere 3.0 or Venere S... My question is in your opinion would the upgrade be worth it? I have also been looking into a Primaluna integrated amp in the future but starting with the speakers.

Given your budget, I’d go used Sonus Faber. You can acquire a higher level speaker for that budget.

I would also consider used Chario or Diapason, both are Italian speaker companies, like Sonus Faber.

In fact, should you be open to it, a used standmount from any of these three Italian speaker makers, at your price point, will buy you a lot of speaker.

All the best.
