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.

I do like Sonus Faber. Someone mentioned the venere floorstanders, well I went to a small show this weekend, with the much smaller, cheaper, standmounts. They made a room filling, sweet, but detailed sound, just lovely. Not sure about matching with the Mac's and not just the power requirements. I find Mac amps on the warm side of neutral as well, maybe too much of a good thing?

Someone mentioned B and W, well I like them too, but warm side of neutral, absolutely not.

Another one to consider,Daedalus Athenas, just as beautiful to look at as Sonus Faber and I think, on the warm side of neutral too, not too expensive and easy to drive.
