What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000

The direct sales approach may save you money or it may not.  It's still all about how good it sound sin your system/room.  Many of these companies still are pricing their products where they would sell if done through a dealer network.  They just make a larger profit margin compared to those sold in stores.  Not picking on EP at all, but making a blanket statement that it's not always the case.  Psychologically many feel they are getting the bargain of their lives, but it still comes down to sounds best.  

If you are a good shopper, you can easily find a great deal used.  There are many companies who don't have as large a dealer mark up as say a Wilson or Magico and are also a great deal new.  No absolutes in audio as we know.  

Interesting conversation though.

What would be your <$10K used speaker pick?
Also, would you ever consider HiFiShark purchase from Europe? 

I have had issues with purchases from overseas (to the US).  That's me.  I"m also not a big buyer of used speakers as they can have issues.  Most are fine, but you have zero recourse buying from folks you don't know etc...  That's just my take, because you threw it out there. 

Under 10k, my favorite are Vandersteen Treo CT's.  It's what I like. What do you like?  I need a speaker that conveys the nuance of the music and has micro and macro details.  Wilson and Magico to MY ears are dynamic, but not as coherent as I personally need.  I've never been one to go fo the companies who spend a ton on marketing per say.  We all like different stuff, but man those carbon fiber tweeters are so difficult to beat for detail without fatigue.  

As a 3+ year owner of Emerald Physics KCIIs (Open Baffle) where every change Ive made to the system or room was immediately revealed, their full line is amazing with some models, including the KCIIs, winning awards. NOW, they are moving the factory and are offering their line at crazy low prices. Contact them ASAP as supplies are limited

When was the last advancement in speaker design? I tried a boatload of used $10k speakers and they're all different, some are shams but the legit brands offer their version of the best that $10k is enough  to find for the average room. Most don't need a chronosonic when a sasha will fill a room. the b problem with buying used and the reason I went active dsp is component matching to get the desired sound out of chosen speakers.
