harbeth super HL5 5-10k

My favorite for overall best speaker for the money is a used pair of Avantgarde Trios.  Average price used in mint condition is around $20K.  There is a reason this speaker has been around relatively unchanged for the past 25 years.  Most speakers on this list are in a perpetual state of upgrades and if they had gotten it right the first time around they would not be on the upgrade up-sell Merry-go-round. 

Also, folks who favor a particular speaker should comment on why the speaker stands above the rest.  Briefly, what makes the Trios stand out (IMO) is:  large wave launch so you do not need to play them at high volumes to get the dynamics right, super easy to drive with relatively inexpensive electronics thanks to 110 db efficiency and lastly they do not need to be in a big room (despite their relatively large size) to sound good because near-field listening is excellent.  I'll leave it at that for now, but the magic is in how they seem get everything right and how, after 10 years of ownership I have no desire to part with them.
