Best new/demo/used value for $7.5K range

Used Avalon speakers. There are few available right now on Audiogon.

For this price range, I would recommand to have a local purchase if possible. All of the speakers you mentioned will be a large purchase in term of size, weight and money. Demo them locally and pick them instead of shipping would be most important.

Don't forget to budget for well matched speaker cables as well. Some of the speakers might require bi-wire or tri-wire.

I have demoed Dynaudio Confidence 5 speakers extensively. They are great speakers but somewhat lacking in bass extension. Maybe 35Hz in a small room. Might want to check out the new Dynaudio Contour speakers as well.

There are also a few Sonus Faber speaker in your price range that will match great with Levinson 27.

What is your tastes? What kind of music do you listen to mostly? Do you listen loud? Are you going to sit in the nearfield or farfield? How big is the room? Each of those speakers were designed to work in a specific way. For instance the two Wilson speakers you mentioned are redically different designs of Dave Wilson's. The B&W and Revel speakers are wide dispersion designs that will sound just okay if placed close to side walls. If you're room is normal I can't see you going wrong with any, but your speacial circumstances would dictated the decision. Me personally, I'd go with either the B&W's, or the Revels as they both have very good power responce's. However, if you listen at lower volumes the Revel's will sound fuller.
Have Fun,

May I suggest Dunlavy V's.

I'd also suggest checking out Reimer speakers.

My vote goes to GR-Research Alphas (think of a speaker similar to Pipedreams). I know of no other speaker that will come close to doing what the Alphas will do in terms of freedom from congestion, soundstage height, scale of dynamics and output or integration between drivers (anywhere near your $7k price point new or used). This design has many of the same attributes that the Pipedream's design has due to the multiple high performance drivers not being pushed anywhere near their limits and it being a simple two way design (which is MUCH easier to perfect than a three or four way design).

IMHO GR's speaker designer (Danny Richie) is a VERY seasoned, has a great ear and only uses the "best of the best" crossover parts in his Alpha design. I've looked at the inside guts of many of the well known big buck speakers only to be completely disgusted at the parts used in their crossovers! In fact, a couple of the speaker suggestions by other posters here can be improved with just a $100 of upgraded parts in their crossovers too! (i.e. those speakers were not designed with a "use the best crossover components" mentality- argh!). IMHO GR Research's Alphas are more refined than a pair of the big $75k+ Pipedreams!!
