What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why?

I'm closer to the 20,000 part, but if I get stretched i would like to know higher recommendations. Remember, this is on the used market - not retail. I'm even interested if you think I should make a huge jump (say to 50,000), but I want to know what justifies that jump. I'd like the best bang for the buck and even the worse bang for the buck. Are there speaker lines that are totally overlooked that sound wonderful in this price range that I need to be exposed to? I may go higher, but lets start there.

PS Let's just assume the upstream equipment is adequate to drive any recommended speaker. We are not limited by upstream components.

OP's question is mildly amusing on many levels. The thing is, no matter how much one spends on speakers, how does that correlate to the basic notion of simply enjoying the music?. 

Is 20 +K some sort of arbitrary threshold?  My daily driver (aka car) cost less than 20K.

Does a "previously owned" 20K speaker do the job?  Or do you need to spend 25K?  And,  what if you expand your budget and include used 30K speakers?  What if you go the "cheap route" and buy speakers for under 2K and put the rest of your  money into a retirement account or donate it to a worthwhile charity?

Audiophiles... god bless 'em. Or not.
