Upgrading from Sonus Farmer Venere 3.0

I’d appreciate feedback on speakers to consider for upgrading my speakers. Pure 2 channel system run by McIntosh MC302 solid state amp rated 300 watts for 2,4 or 8 ohms.  I like my speakers and recognize my turntable and speakers are my weak links. 
Listen to a variety of music (rock, jazz and pop) - more Jimi Hendrix, LED Zeppelin than Spyro Gyra or Manhattan Transfer.  Will play music loader than most whether it’s Black Sabbath War Pigs or Pink’s Give me a Reason. 
Environment:
15x20 foot listening area.... open floor plan with high ceilings
sound treatments via carpet window coverings and seating

Budget $10k...
Previously considered B&W 805D3 and PSB Towers.  
I don’t know what I don’t know regardless manufacturers.

Intriguing...yet not compelling.  Need is a strong word and if there was a way that was possible I'd consider it.

Can you provide any details such specifications and logistics for listening?

True - my grammar was horrendous.  I appreciate your ability to work through it.

Instead of trying attempting a difficult if not impossible task.  Would there be another option such as a duplicate of your speakers.

What speakers make and model do you currently listen to?

Thanks for the suggestion - ATC wasn't on my radar!

@steve59 
Thank you too...Usher and Persona weren't on my radar either.

@cygnusx8 my initial thoughts were used higher end Sonus Fabers or Wilson. 
I appreciate everyone’s insight. I am going to hunt for used speakers

Thanks!  PSBs are nice

My listening habits of loud music is remnants of teenage years combined with being a former field artillery guy :/

I recently listened to the Sonetto V and I heard a much improved versus my current speakers.
