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?

Will definitely consider the KEF blade as well!

I am getting a big recommendation for JBL 4367. Any thoughts on how that stacks up against others in the list?

I'd take an educated guess that the Linkwitz LX521 will match or surpass anything at $200k for a great deal less than $50k.

The Persona 7H / 9H midband is excellent. Tonally more forward than B&W 800 / 802D3 in a side-by-side compare, but I would judge different rather than better, but dependent on genre of music. The big B&W's excel in casting a larger soundstage, and a bit more warmth and bottom end.
