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.

Not all Devore's look like they have a large footprint. The Gibbon series seem to be compact and slim but have heard great things about the Super Nine's. 
gene3x,

I have listened to the Sopra 3's and was greatly impressed. But, I purchased the Sopra 2 because I already own 4 JL Audio F-113 subs and I like the more streamline look of the 2's. I should get them next week.

Are you still using the Carver Speakers you recently purchased, or moving on?
The Devore Super Nines at 8.5"X13.75", seem like a small footprint to me and they are not as "rich" sounding as the 0 series speakers, or so I have heard.
