Best value speakers available


I was intrigued by a thread about buying new speakers in the 10k range, a speaker that just kept poping up was the magnepan 3.6. I agree that that is a super value for the money but then again so are the 1.6's. What are you picks for the best "value" speaker out there. I would prefer not to hear the wilson audio X-1 grand slamm, unless of course you are bill gates! thanks in advance for any comments.

I have heard every major brand out there and was at the show for days just to hear I work as a custom installer
for Audio .The Nsr Sonic D-3 Loudspeaker was beating up on speakers at more than double their under $5k price was .
I could not find any glaring weakness no matter what kind out music I threw at it .the speakers not only was crystal clear but dissapeared in the room with Bass that was as good as a REL Sub.I did notice the High quality drivers and the Xover must be equally good for I just
got into the music and forgot about everything else.
to Mrtennis .I donot know when you were there but there was a problem with a modwright pre that took a lot away from the setup as a whole I heard them on the last day in the afternoon when everything was sorted and they just vanished in the room ,read all the other show reports out there ,they heard the same things I did . Roger sanders speakers are very clear they are electrostats they should be.the Nsr speaker can do several things better than stats
including tunefull bass ,imaging,and dynamics.The NSR Sonic D-3 is now in the production end and is noticable beter than the proto types at the show and please remember this was a $5k loudspeaker .they have a Reference Xover which are the finest parts in the world from Duelund and this transforms this speaker against anything at $10k I heard it recently while in New england for under $5500, and the Patented bass wil cleanly play any note of a concert grand Piano ,go to http://www.hifidelityaudio.com
and they can tell you more.
