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?

@janehamble , "All speakers over $10,000 rival each other. Pick your look and pick your sound. It’s totally personal - no better or worse."



So personal that in fact all too surprisingly often they can appear to sound worse.

Sometimes so far worse that you have no idea what the designer was thinking.

Or why nobody had a word in their ear.

I'd take an educated guess that the Linkwitz LX521 will match or surpass anything at $200k for a great deal less than $50k.
