ERA D-14 0r D-10

Hi Meiwan,

Basically that is exactly what I wanted to know, thanks!!

I listened to both quite a lot. I wound up with the D14's over the D10's. to me and forgive me for my description, the 14 was fuller in the midrange and seemed to intergrate as a whole better. THe 10 just sounded a bit off to me. Crap answer, sorry. +1 on the inefficent but if you have the power they punch up and will rival speakers that are considered better by many. I had a chance to stand them up by units running $1200 more for a pair and I liked the era better. YMMV. I think the top end detail may have much to to with taste or electronics. I have d4's as rears and 14's as mains and they are nice and clear on top. for some of my music I have even rolled off the top a bit. Not really sure about my room as to it being dead or live.

I have extensive experience with both. My preference is the D-10. I felt it threw a bigger image and disappeared better.

The D-14 had a significant issue with the grill on. Somehow the design of the grill degrades the treble and collapses the image. This can be heard in a demo at the dealer. You need to personally check this out for yourself.

Both are built to a very high degree, and look superb. especially in their Rosewood. My choice is D-10's!

Thanks for the reply guys! I have no way to hear either, so will most likely not take a chance at this time.

I'll take a speaker on the dark side over one on the harsh/fatiguing side any day!

I love the d4 - have em in the bedroom. I doubt you'll be disappointed in any era at their price point - just give em some room to breathe
