Thoughts on possible lateral move/upgrade

[PatrickBateman]

Hey guys,

I currently have Era D5 mains and D3 rears. I was finally getting around to pick up the LCR5 center, when I came across a great deal on a pair of speakers I really like, the Monitor Audio GS10's. I thought if I was to make a move this would be the time.
Problem is I have no way of doing a A/B comparison. I have no complaints about the D5's, I just have always really enjoyed and wanted the GS10's. Of course the real test is in my setup with them, which I have not tried.
Just wondering if anyone has compared the Era's to the MA GS10's and what your thoughts are.
I am powering them with a Parasound Halo A23 and a Marantz SR7002.

Thanks

Not the GS10, but I went from the GR10s to the D5s. I like the D5s much better. To me, a much smoother sound, giving up some shimmer in the highs. Great bass for a bookshelf with both, but the D5s dig a little deeper.
