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.

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."



Just FYI, the Lone Star Audio Fest is in early May, and its location is less than half an hour from McKinney.  Wayne Parham of Pi Speakers is a regular there.  He's the founder of the show. 

I'm about twenty minutes east of McKinney in Princeton, but I don't have a showroom, just a workshop.

If you have 2 full corners and a decent sized room, just go with a pair of K-horns. Be sure to bi-amp them using a transistor amp for the bass and a single ended tube amp for the mids/highs.
