Sonus Faber Question


I spent (wasted?) a lot of time switching amplifiers in and out of my system, never quite achieving the sound I was chasing. There were a lot of sideways moves. Then I purchased a demo pair of Sonus Faber Sonetto III's. After playing these through my system I finally feel I'm headed in the right direction. This speaker sound signature is the type of sound I've been seeking out. However, I get the feeling these speakers are really just scratching the surface of what Sonus Faber can offer. Unfortunately, I'm not independently wealthy. So the question is what speaker would you recommend as the next appreciable step up to capture more of the Sonus Faber essence / what should I expect to have to pay on the used market to get there? Thanks in advance!

If you like the signature Sonus Faber sound, I wouldn't even consider opting for the more neutral, detailed, transparent and dynamic sounding Revel speakers, no matter how good the deal.  Just explore speakers further up the Sonus Faber line and you should come up smelling like roses.  I much prefer the Revel speaker signature sound myself.
