OK Audiogon, help me out please

I'm looking to upgrade my speakers from Monitor Audio Silver RX8 to either MA Gold 500 G6 or the Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII  G2. I've heard the MA's but haven't heard the SF's. Regular retail price for these are roughly $500.00 apart. Right now I can get the MA's on sale for $6300.00 vs $7500.00. Is there anyone on here who's heard both? If so, which do you prefer? Both dealers are roughly an hour from my house so it's not as easy as going around the block.

With your other equipment, and in a room that size, I agree with deep_333. Check out the Mofi Point Source speakers if you can too.

The new MA Silver speakers seem like more of what you're looking for and cheaper. Also, matching is the key.

Sonus Faber makes good speakers too.

Sorry to hear and I hope things get better. This is a good time to play around with speaker placement and toe in. Also, soundproofing. I use Michael Green corner tunes, and they make a huge difference. I would start there when you can. You can even make your own.
