Best Kept Speaker Secret?

OK all you speaker experts out there here goes. There are always "sleepers" or "exceptions to every rule or cost" in high end audio equipment. In your opinion what is the best kept secret or exception to the cost for the very best speaker you can buy for $4000 or less (Used). Your feedback will be greatly appreciated toward building my short list. Thank you.

VMPS
Check out the newest RM-2 or the RM-40. The RM-40 won Best at CEC show. I haven't heard these but being an owner of older VMPS I would highly recomend. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

Von Schweikert 4.5 -- you've got to hear 'em to believe 'em.
I just picked up a pair of Thiel 3.6's and am conflicted since I then heard the Von Schweikert's -- unbelievable!

Although the above choices are wonderful, my personal favorite, and the pair I own, are the Vandersteen 3A Signatures.

ProAc's "ultimate in compact speaker design" the Tablette 2000 Signature. It's larger than their 1SC, contains all of the Response line's features, but sells for less; a true marketing anomaly and gift to the faithful.
