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.

Want to hear the Magico A3 but a no show at the RMAF and none in local retailers here.

Tekton- Too in your face for my ears. But many love them you decide.
Three or four of these posts had excellent suggestions. What sounds great to one set of ears can be painful to another. Once you have listened to everyone's idea of nirvana you will know which way to go!!
