OK Audiogon, help me out please

Neither of them will help with your 'issues'. 

A pair of Mofi 888 (price is 5k) should fix your issues.

The problem with my current speakers are they seem very bright in the mids and harsh in the upper. Which of the 2 speakers I'm looking at could help with these issues? So in a nutshell, roll back the midrange and smooth out the high end.

You will get more speaker for the money with Monitor Audio. It’s a larger company selling more speakers and they are more consumer than high end. But that doesn’t mean your ears would like MA more than Sonus Faber, you would need to listen to both to know. To my ears, MA is a bit too analytical, not musical enough.

I've heard the MA's today, only heard the Sonetto  V's. 

I'll have to do some research as to where there is a MoFI dealer near me.

The store that has the MA's has offered to loan them to me for a week or so to see how they sound in my system. Probably going to take them up on that.

here is the worst advice when you are focused on 2 models: checkout more. There are 100s of great speakers in your price range

What is the rest of your equipment, what is your room like?  What kind of music do you listen to?  Do you play it loud?  or at low volumes?  etc....

All of these things will influence what you hear.  Both speaker brands are solid and well respected with good customer support.  Both their "house sounds" are clean/clear/ precise and not overly heavy on the base.   And from my own experience with MA, they can be sensitive to the electronics feeding them.  The SF models I have heard, see to roll off the highs a little more than the MA's.

So, +1 on grislybutter recommendation, but don't dismiss the other electronics either.  It's all about the synergy of the whole system, including the room itself.

my 2 cents.... (adjusting for inflation, is that now 6 cents...)
