High value, giant killer speakers?


What speakers have you heard at any price did you find are fairly priced or a great deal and competed with offerings much more expensive (2x, 3x, 4x etc)?

I would add Yamaha NS5000. Extremely impressive speaker and although pricey I think it can take on speakers that are more expensive.
Another one would be t+a s300 talis. Speaker is extremely impressive. Heard it yesterday. 
@helomech How do you like bigger Mags? 3.7i or 20.7 ?

@tweak1  I can get a EP 2.8 for about $3k. I heard the 4.8 and did enjoy them.
Talked to Ron at Marigo Labs the other day. He has the Tekton Encore ($8000). He thinks they are better than his King Sound Electrostats. He is going to mod them. The Tekton Moab has the same mids and highs with "merely’ two 12 inch woofs for bass.....$4500 the pair delivered...with in home trial. There is a guy on the Moab thread who replaced his 20.1 or 20.5 Maggies with them.....he is really happy. Modified, the Moab would be better than most $50K speakers....that is my guess.

What kind of mod ?
Any thoughts on Usher audio's newer TD series? Looks really interesting with their diamond-metal-diamond tweeter and midrange units. Some of their entry floor standers can be had for under $5k.
