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.

To everyone who gave advice/opinions, thank you. Having said that, I'm going to have to put speaker decisions on the back burner for the forseeable future. Health issues in my family have taken priority and focus.

@justlance   Hope things go well with the health issues in the family.  I been there and it is never fun.

@chrisoshea   If that earlier post was aimed at me, I know bass not base... it was a typo.  I guess just like spelling my screen name as Jeffbia....  LOL

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.
