Best value speakers available


I was intrigued by a thread about buying new speakers in the 10k range, a speaker that just kept poping up was the magnepan 3.6. I agree that that is a super value for the money but then again so are the 1.6's. What are you picks for the best "value" speaker out there. I would prefer not to hear the wilson audio X-1 grand slamm, unless of course you are bill gates! thanks in advance for any comments.

MMG for around $500 new.....just ridiculous.
I also like Omegas with their new sub,for around 1-1.5G street. Actually it is going to be this combo or M&D new mini monitors for my 3th system. It all depends which way i will choose to go- tube or SS amplification. Shanling MC-30 or City Pulse SA-77 HYBRID INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER or Little Dot T 150 Tripath amplifier or Jungson JA-88D or Classic No. 6.6......yes I know - a lot of choices. Well, these all are under 1G and that is what I am looking for. There are few others but what is the point of
mentioning them all........
Vandersteen and Magnepan have been the best values in high end for decades.

I'm biased on the Vandersteen because I sell them, but the reason they are such a good value is that nearly all of the money is spent on the guts and not on the looks. This is true of the 1C, 2Ce Sig mkII, 3A Sig, and standard Quatro.

Maggies, which I don't sell, have always been a great bargain. They are nice people too.
At $10K the Harbeth 40.1 is tough to beat. Bass, midrange magic, ease of drive, musicality-they play music.
The NSR - D-3 loudspeaker, Truly Vandi and Maggi are stil hard to beat , please remember I just sold a fully modded Maggi1.6 with a Rel sub
it may be a hair more transparent then the NSR Sonic Research D-3 but not by much ,neither the Maggi 3.6 or Vand 3 or their %7k speaker can touch it for overall dynamics , depth of instruments and realism and superb soundstage and imaging this speaker just dissapears truly you would need to speand 2x this to be in the ballpark 2008 loudspeaker of the year in real time,
You will see several reviews coming up this year ,but no paper reviews I asked the owner, Tas or stereophile expect you to dump at least $30k minimun or your product stays on the back burner.
Politics ,I have spoken with many manufacturers and this is a fact.
