Best Value Speaker Model for the Buck?

i get a little tired of bringing up my 1st really good speaker purchase- ADS L-810/2's. walnut cabinets with dark-stained corner inserts. a dedicated pair of black lean-back stands with generous rubber pads to protect the speaker finish. free speaker wire of course. i paid about $960. the big deal for me was/is that NOTHING i had heard at the time, perhaps with the exception of magnaplanars (which were not nearly as good as present-day maggies), was relaxed and exceptionally natural sounding, with superior imaging that you could discern right off the bat- even if you didn't have prior knowledge of what imaging was. the dealer warned me against using an amp with too much juice, because the tweeter-fuses would blow (although a trip to radio shack and $5 would remedy that). you can easily get $600 or more for a mint pair today. only the "mint" pairs are rarely for sale...
