Thanks for the link! I'll certainly browse the offerings.
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.

The gear is MICHI P5 & S5. E.A.T. B Sharp TT (99% of what I listen to is vinyl) Parasound JC3jr phono amp The room is approximately 11' X 11'. One window @ ground level. walls are cinder block w/ wood panels. Due to the layout of the room, moving speakers to different locations within the room is not real feasible. I have to go back to Milwaukee today, and I plan on comparing the Silver to the Gold a bit more in depth. After that I am going to go to the SF dealer and see what we can work out for an in-home trial. I can get the MA's in-home, so I'm going to run with that option. |
@justlance With room dimensions of 11X11 both speakers appear too large. Have heard the SF Sonetto G2 V, a diet of Rock/Blues might not play to its strengths. |
