Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)

I am on a long search for speakers and just curious what people think is the best value both new or used in speakers ranging from around $5000 to $15000? I have a set of Paradigm S8's (V1) and love them but looking for another set for another set in a different listening area (25 x 20?, maybe larger).  I love the full sound of JBL's and looking for something in that range (it also helps that JBL's seem to hold their value better than most, which will be a consideration). The only drawback to JBL is footprint.  I prefer a smaller footprint which is why after reading I hope to listen to several B&W 800 series but open to suggestions across the board.  used Watt Puppies? Revels?  I am curious about peoples experience with McIntosh XR100's.

I  absolutely love my GoldenEar Triton 1’s. There is a reason they have won just about every major award. I auditioned them, and completely agree. And they are at the very low end of your price range. 

The GoldenEar Reference is even better - audition them in your listening space.

Good luck,  because as you know there is no real answer! :-) Because it’s what you like, not what everyone else likes. 

Kinda like sports cars...
