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 reasons for trialing another MA speaker is twofold.

1) I would like to see if the larger drivers overall have any effect on the issues.

2) I've never had ribbon tweeters and would like to hear how they sound.

My primary audio source is the one that sold me the Niagara 1200 and all upgraded power cables.

That's not to say that noise could be contributing to my issue, but it's not like I have all my gear plugged straight into the wall.

Not sure if I replied directly to you or not, the cables, power, interconnects, and speaker are all Audioquest. The cart on the TT is a HANA ML.

Sorry if I'm repeating myself, but I'm trying to reply to everyone offering advice.
