Welcome to ASR. There are many reviews of audio hardware and expert members to help answer your questions. Click here to have your audio equipment measured for free!
In my experience speaker size is determined by the room size and the volume I usually listen to.
Speaker position and distance to the listener matters too.
Does it need to be bookshelf, floorstander or doesn't it matter?
What do you have now and what makes that you want to change?

a minimum 3 way floor standing speaker would be fine for me, my room size is 15 x 25 foot, i believe it is a medium size, I tried to listen a speaker called sonus faber Sonetto V G2, I like the sound, but it is above my budget, max budget is 3500$

That isn’t really a very good distribution of money. You already spent like 5k on electronics, but rather should reserve the most budget where is actually matters: for speakers.
As to speakers options within your budget. Try some KEF. Q11 will easily fit your budget. R5 as well. Mofi Point source 888 perhaps (price seems te depend highly on location)?

Facts and figures about speakers may be a useful starting point, but in the end you have to hear them with you own ears.
Even better if you can hear them in your own room as the room/furnishings make a big difference.
This is one reason why many of us don't like to recommend any. Same for headphones, underpants, food etc.

Hang about! I would always recommend M&S underpants!
I see Philharmonic Audio speakers in your future. They punch WAY above their price tag and are extremely well reviewed. Generous sold out but you can get on a waitlist or pre-order and they will give you a good idea when you will receive the speakers upfront.

At least until the police arrive, anyway.One's 'package' may determine suitability for underpants, but then my sequined thong will get me access to the ladies loos....
They won't in the UK.... They only turn up if you've hurt someone's feelings online, usually by saying something true !
I'm probably at risk on ASR....
Here, Erin has compiled a list of the floorstanding speakers he has tested and listened to, across various price ranges:
These are within the TS's budget. They seem to be really good:

I missed checking if your amp handles the recommended speakers, but I’ve done that now. No issues at all with:
Nominal Output Power RMS / 8 Ohm: 2 x 150 Watts
Nominal Output Power RMS / 4 Ohm: 2 x 250 Watts

Sonus faber Lumina V Amator Loudspeaker Lab Report
Lab Report The drivers in this three-way floorstanding speaker are, on the whole, well behaved with only the 150mm pulp mid unit slightly stretched – a step in response once into its stride after the 260Hz crossover [see Graph 1], and a mild resonance just before the top 2.9kHz crossover visible...

It’s objectively not a very good speaker. Seems like this is their house sound.

I had a Vincent SAV P200 and found it really lacking the ability to pull difficult speaker loads, like really - even with its supposedly 6x200W in 8 ohm.
I tried to use it for a LAT500 subwoofer, and found it unable to control cone motion at higher levels, whereas my current amplifiers have no problems in this regard - you could literally see how the cone moved WAY more controlled and did'nt bottom out as easily with a better amplifier - played measurably louder and deeper with a "stronger" amplifier.
Even My old Dali Evidence 870 was a bit to hard on the Vincent, since I found out how more controlled everything became when getting rid of the Vincent.
I do not know if my then amplifier was problematic, if I pushed it too hard or other Vincent models have the same limitations, but I would definitely aim for an easy speaker with anything from this brand - IME.

`thank you for sharing this info, even though it was a power amplifier, if that's the case, there seems to be some problem.
