Linn AV5140 speakers vs ERA D14 speakers???

era speakers are warmer, linn is clinical but very musical, the 5140 are best in active mode with linn cards, without those cards i would not buy linn, and linn is one of my favorite companies. era is excellent choice ,although they can be very detailed, but much warmer....i like the era monitors especially. i have heard the linn 5140 when it came out many years ago and i have heard the era monitors, the monitors are detailed and newer....i would think the 5140 would have alot of time on them and well, you never know.
