I hate to jump on the “buy what I bought!” bandwagon, but...
I was also looking into a pair of pre-owned Sonus Faber, but after reading some glowing reviews and talking to a couple of very satisfied owners, I ended up buying a new pair of LSA speakers. Due to space constraints, I went with the LSA-10 monitors, but you’ve got plenty of room for their full size floorstanders. The LSA-20 Statements (their flagship model) are on sale right now for 50% off retail. You can order them right here on Audiogon for $2999 shipped. This includes a 30-day in home trial. Coming in that far under budget for a pair of outstanding speakers would free up some of your funds to invest in a nice separates setup with which to drive them.
Good luck, and happy shopping!
