Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)


I am on a long search for speakers and just curious what people think is the best value both new or used in speakers ranging from around $5000 to $15000? I have a set of Paradigm S8's (V1) and love them but looking for another set for another set in a different listening area (25 x 20?, maybe larger).  I love the full sound of JBL's and looking for something in that range (it also helps that JBL's seem to hold their value better than most, which will be a consideration). The only drawback to JBL is footprint.  I prefer a smaller footprint which is why after reading I hope to listen to several B&W 800 series but open to suggestions across the board.  used Watt Puppies? Revels?  I am curious about peoples experience with McIntosh XR100's.

Something  without a box 
(Open-baffle) should be on your list no try.

Ones you go ....you probably never go back. 


Check out the Revel Ultima 2 Salons or Studios. Sister company to JBL and one of the best value speakers IMHO.
What area are you in - where are you planning on listening to the Persona’s at?
Hmmmmm,

after reading the following post and asking what a buyer would have to do with a customer service when buying, my post got deleted. Not that it was of any value, but it is puzzling as the post I was referring to stayed...

"With Revel you're dealing with the Harman Kardon mega-church which provides shitty customer service."
