"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"


I'd appreciate some advice from those experienced with great speakers. I'm hoping that this thread will be valuable to lots of others, as well.

On to my question: What are the best value speakers you can buy on the used market in the $5k-$10k price range? I think it's time to get into something world-class for music, and I've found that in each area of life or hobby, there are gems available that might not carry the most popular brand name - or be the latest fashion - but that do deliver the best performance for the money.

I'd appreciate recommendations from any resident speaker gurus. Thank you!

It would be helpful if you provided your room dimensions. What are your priorities?
Metalphoenix,
What amplifier will you use? This will help those who offer advice.As Ricred1 pointed out, room size is an important factor. It's hard to discuss speakers without knowing those two variables.
Regards,
Thanks, guys. My room is about 20'x20' - and right now I have a great JBL Synthesis system that's circa 2000 or so, with their S800 and S5160 amps. I was going to use those amps to begin with, and then upgrade as necessary to optimize for speakers.
