Vote for best speaker value under 5K$

Mine (or whatever I have at any given time). The reason is because I really like them.

I purchased used Aerial 10t for $1500 and can't even think of better ones at any larger price point! Would never ever go to purchase Bowers, Logans of any model since they're not my type at all with any electronics. Many folks would praise Maggies too, but again whatever YOU like is the MOST important factor alas from any number of votes per speaker you may get.

Sometimes you don't know what you're looking for until you find it. For me in my room it is Acoustic Zen Adagios. I went through a bunch of highly rated and similarly priced speakers looking for the right ones. Took a chance on the Adagios and as soon as I hooked 'em up and played music I knew that something special happened and everything I was looking for fell into place. I'm not sure they would've worked in my last home because the music room was twice the size but they sound like they were made for my current setup and preferences. After buying and selling my way through at least half a dozen "great" speakers I have learned that they're only a good value if I like them. Sounds obvious but points up the fact value is in the ear of the beholder.
