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.

The NSR - D-3 loudspeaker, Truly Vandi and Maggi are stil hard to beat , please remember I just sold a fully modded Maggi1.6 with a Rel sub
it may be a hair more transparent then the NSR Sonic Research D-3 but not by much ,neither the Maggi 3.6 or Vand 3 or their %7k speaker can touch it for overall dynamics , depth of instruments and realism and superb soundstage and imaging this speaker just dissapears truly you would need to speand 2x this to be in the ballpark 2008 loudspeaker of the year in real time,
You will see several reviews coming up this year ,but no paper reviews I asked the owner, Tas or stereophile expect you to dump at least $30k minimun or your product stays on the back burner.
Politics ,I have spoken with many manufacturers and this is a fact.
By far for overall balance from top to bottom the 2008
breakthrough loudspeaker, a show stopper by many at the last 2 shows ,the NSR Sonic Research D-s Sonatas.
Compared to the Hyperion968 these were much more natural and went even lower cleanly, and the music just was effortless,with a dissapearing act you rarely get from
most loudspeakers even at 3x their cost ,at under $5k
once they are setup properly and reviewed for sure they will win awards, keeep your eyes on these guys you heard it here first. I am for buying a pair ,and in any color you want !
