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?

Chadnliz: 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.

Just to provide some perspective if possible: at what price point did you start hearing better sound than DCM's?

I thought I got the greatest steal ever when I picked up my GMA Continuum 1's here last year for $800 -- this speaker out performs the Callisto! Think of it as a Callisto with integrated subwoofers, if you will. For $800! Then, just recently, someone nabbed a pair on an a'gon auction for $550! Amazing.

Ofcourse there are better and I never denied that, what these speakers do show is that you can get great sound on the cheap. They sounded as good as many speakers 3x the price and far better then some.
