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?

Just listened to Monitor RS6s today in my quest for my first set of good speakers. I was completely blown away.

My "vote" goes to the Vandersteen 2ce Sig II. IMO, it goes a long ways towards the performance of mega-buck speakers (especially in terms of soundstaging and tonal balance) for the relatively small sum of $2K. Its main shortcoming is a slightly veiled quality on vocals, but (to my ears) is otherwise as good or nearly as good as anything I've heard including Wilson W/P 7, Thiel 7.2, and Revel Studio. Disclaimer: I own the Vandies!

DCM is a great idea, it was one of the most impressive speakers in NYC at the show, I have heard many speakers that cost a heck of alot more tat only sound as good or maybe even worse. What was also great was this was in a total budget set-up total cost less then $2500 so it wasnt paired with super gear to make it shine.
