Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?


I am planning to do an upgrade, and I would like to know which loudspeakers REALLY stand out in this price range. Please don't reply telling which loudspeaker you have. I want to know which are the true winners....I mean, those loudspeakers that cost a $1000 but sound like they cost $2500! Which are the "best buy" options that are a total consensus among audiophiles?

Are you looking to just buy new, or would used be Ok also? There's a big difference between what you can get new and what you can get say second hand here on Audiogon.
"I mean, those loudspeakers that cost a $1000 but sound like they cost $2500"

I know plenty of $1000 speakers that sound better than B&Ws that cost $2500. Is this what you are looking for? :):)
