B&W CM1's vs. ERA 5's

Any thoughts as to which is subjectively the better speaker. [Bass response , midrange, top end}
Thanks.

Only thing to think of is in 3 years the B&W's will hold on to most of their value where as the ERA's will be well below that. The best is to listen to them. Find a good dealer to help you.

The Arcam is incredible sounding and one of the most under appreciated products out there. We have one at the store I work at and it gives nothing up to any other receiver.
