since you asked for opinions, i auditioned the eras and didn't like 'em at all--i thought they were tinny, with a narrow soundstage. the paradigms, on the other hand, have no discernible flaws; i'd also look at psb imagine within the same price class.
Paradigm Studio 10 or ERA D4/D5
I am getting ready to build a modest 5.1 system in the living room. It will be used mainly for watching TV, movies, and playing games. I will listen to music on it until I can get a 2 ch. rig set up as well.
I heard the D4 and loved that little speaker. I have always liked the Paradigm stuff. I used to run 4 Studio 60s and a Studio CC in a 5.0 setup and it was fantastic.
I really am leaning towards the ERA stuff this time. They are beautiful to look at as well. The fronts will be mounted on some nice stands. Center will match and be on a shelf below the TV. Rears will be in-ceiling. Either Paradigm if I end up with Studio 10 or probably B&W if I end up with the ERA.
Anyone with experience with the Studio v.5 line and ERA chime in please.
