Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)


I am on a long search for speakers and just curious what people think is the best value both new or used in speakers ranging from around $5000 to $15000? I have a set of Paradigm S8's (V1) and love them but looking for another set for another set in a different listening area (25 x 20?, maybe larger).  I love the full sound of JBL's and looking for something in that range (it also helps that JBL's seem to hold their value better than most, which will be a consideration). The only drawback to JBL is footprint.  I prefer a smaller footprint which is why after reading I hope to listen to several B&W 800 series but open to suggestions across the board.  used Watt Puppies? Revels?  I am curious about peoples experience with McIntosh XR100's.

Glad I dropped in..........
Yes Bo, you’re the Einstein of audio. 

And far far more entertaining than that goofy Tara Cable Labs thread OP. 

Please continue............
Bo, I believe you have nothing further to add here. 

Why not relocate to another thread and bore another group of posters?
I can handle the truth. 

When I read it. 

You, however, are little more than a self promoting stooge. 
>>I'll say one thing, if I walked into an audio store with the intent of purchasing speakers there and bo1972 was my salesman, I would run out the door as fast as I could<<

There’s another dealer, claiming doctoral status, posting in the forums who would hasten my exit even quicker.
