Sonus Faber sonetto II vs Harbeth 7ES-3

Hello Guys,
I'm in a search for a new set of speakers and currently I'm stacked between either Sonus Faber sonetto II or Harbeth 7ES-3. The SFs are brand new and they sell for 1700 eur pair (stands not included) while the Harbeth's are used and sell for 1500 eur. The history of the Harbeths is not known, but they are in a good condition (visually).
My amplifier is Pathos Classic One MKIII. 

What would be your choice, does anyone have experience with any of the mentioned models?

Thanks

The Harbeths are easier to drive by a significant amount.   
These two speakers are on much different price and musical performance levels.  
If you need to stick in the Sonus Faber price range I would recommend investigating the Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a.

Here is an stunning deal on the Harbeths from a very trusted dealer in Chicago that I know well.

For those who are interested, follow this link https://anyflip.com/ierm/qvce to see how Sam from stereophile describes the great magic between Pathos Classic One and Sonus Faber. Also, after seeing the interview with Paolo Tezzon (the man that ascended Franco Serblin) i’m almost 100% sure I’ll go with the SFs. This man is genius https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZG4BHRs62k
