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.

Justlance , chicago is further than Schaumburg. From Milwaukee maybe good 2 hrs. It’s worth the drive . Many fly for this show and pay for hotel accommodation. All you need is 4 to 5 hours back and back to your place. Saturday no traffic.

ATC SCM40 should be a nice fit for you. Get Sonus Faber Sonetto if you are more into decor than sound. They’ve never impressed me with their sound quality and sonic signature and they don’t have the bass for rock and blues. I strongly recommend you audition ATC before you buy anything.
