Moving up from B&W CM9


I'm selling my CM9's.  I'm using a McIntosh C41 preamp and MC7150 Amp.  I should have about $2,500 to invest in a set of used speakers.  I get it that the best speaker is the one that I like the best.  I'm just looking for some suggestions of what I might want to try to audition.  I've been leaning toward Sonus Faber Venere 3.0, but have heard some great things about Tekton recently.  thanks!

I went from a pair of B&W 703s (older nicer version of the Cm9) to a pair of Thiel 2.4CS and the improvement was staggering. 

what I learned is that the 703s is just a bad speaker, not really good at anything and the Thiels are over achievers and a lot more money needs to be spent to better them. If you don't mind owning a discounted model the thiel 2.4cs is a steal on the used market right now at around $2000ish. They were $6,500 at the end of their cycle.
