Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?

Curious if there are any used or new (less likely) speakers out there that rival flagship speakers like Focal Grande Utopia, Rockport Lyra, Marten Coltrane Supreme 2, Magico M6, Raidho TD 4.2 or D4.8 etc?

I'll throw out a contender. If you look on ebay and the used market you can sometimes find a Von Schwekert VR 10 for around $18k CAD and from what I heard it can rival many TOTL speakers like the Grande Utopia. Do you guys have any thoughts?

You may want to have somwhat interest in the KEF BLADE. I have heard 5 of your somewhat interest speakers and I would take the BLADE over those.

Josh358 thanks for your contributions. I see you've been posting knowledgeably about Magnepan speakers for at least a decade now! I agree that they are magnificent at what they do best.

And to Nick: Room treatments can be of critical importance, but they don’t confer such bragging rights online. So we tend to hear less about them. People would much rather argue about brand names.

If I may suggest at risk of being called a heretic: 

$40K speakers and $10K speaker cables :D
