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.

I keep seeing that Coli has a post after my last post but it's not showing up when I open this thread.  Do any of you see that post as the last post in this thread (other than THIS post asking, lol).  Thanks.

Ctsooner, it's showing as "Post removed Apr 30, 2016."  So it was deleted either by him or by the moderators.  The listing you are looking at which still refers to it is apparently not up to date.

Thanks Al, I just couldn't make sense of it.  Wonder what happened, lol.  Oh well.  Buddy of mine is going nuts over his Vandersteen 5 CT's.  He said he upgraded his amps and server.  Said he's blown away as he made a few other tweeks and the speakers are even better and he loved them before, lol.  I do love the line obviously.  I also have enjoyed some of the NEW Legacy speakers too. They do some things very similar to Vandy's.  I think they can be very hot on top though, but they do so much really well.  Very few speakers I love listening to. Some of them are not the last word in definition etc, but they are musical...Kind of like listening to the radio in the car, lol.
