Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?


Curious if there are any used or new (less likely) speakers out there that rival flagship speakers like Focal Grande Utopia, Rockport Lyra, Marten Coltrane Supreme 2, Magico M6, Raidho TD 4.2 or D4.8 etc?

I'll throw out a contender. If you look on ebay and the used market you can sometimes find a Von Schwekert VR 10 for around $18k CAD and from what I heard it can rival many TOTL speakers like the Grande Utopia. Do you guys have any thoughts?

Daedalus speakers

wonderful tonal balance - the most critical thing
very revealing
micro and macro detail and dynamics
sonic wood done right which disappear in a room
high efficiency
a low watt sat, triode tube or large amp will drive them well

i hear everysustem change in spades

i was at RMAF and kept hearing $$$ lesser sounding speakers and was drawn back in

disclosure
bought a pair of Ulysses
