Best Value Speaker Model for the Buck?

Interested in what people think is the most amazing speakers for the money. I love amazing values; the big bang for the buck; the class leaders and benders.

I thought the old Ohm Acoustics model L with the current upgrades make an amazing value. The Wharfedale Diamond 9.2's are an amazing little speaker too. And I've heard nOhr speakers are fabulous values too.

So what's the biggest bang for the buck you've ever heard? Used speaker values?

I like the Reyanuds...MK II version, and subsequent generations on up to Signatures. Costs range from $500-$900 on Audiogon. They are amazing in the way they convey the intent of a singer, are extremely musical, and 90db efficient...sound great with tubes or solid state.

The all time value leader might be the B&W 302 at $299, new. They make a mid fi system sing.

Used Vandersteen 1Cs are an exceptional value without question.
For me though, it's a beautiful pair of Meadowlark Audio Kestrel IIs I got for $500.

The DCM speakers on demo in NYC at the show were very good for $1000.00 infact it made some of the insane prices on other speakers look almost criminal. I dont mean to say some of the more expensive speakers were not better but $50,$75,$100,000 better?...........nope.
