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.

Spatial Audio Triode Masters, best speakers I have ever owned, and I have or owned most of the usual suspects.

Spatial Triodes or Gallo Strada 2 with a pair of SVS SB16 is about as good as it gets at any price.

I’ve got the Strada 2 and was thinking about upgrading to the Spatial Audio M4. You’ve heard both. What would you say is the difference? How do they compare?
