The best speakers over 50K

I am curious.  I recently heard a pair of Vandersteen Seven speakers and I thought they sounded as good as any speaker I heard at this price.  Yet, when I look to the various forums where the users discuss the best speakers, I never see these listed.  Am I missing something?

I understand your question, and it is interesting, but who would equate $$ with "good?"

Lots of people. Once you start measuring things in terms of arbitrary fiat units created from nothing its only one small step to fantasy posts equating the meaningless digits with sound quality.

(Having no listening skills makes the slide so slick you can't believe.)

open your own thread about equating $$$'s to good if that makes you happy.

does every thread about expensive gear on audiogon have to slip into the (1) social consciousness narrative, or (2) buyers of expensive gear are delusional? 

get's very tiring. sigh.

The best speakers I've heard was Magico M6 and Focal Utopia but they are way more expensive. 
Closer to $50k I really liked MBL 101 and Bayz Courante. And a little below is Stenheim Alumine 3.

I am not sure there is such a thing as "The best speakers over $XXXXX", but Tidal is as good as it gets for my ears.
