Best Kept Speaker Secret?

OK all you speaker experts out there here goes. There are always "sleepers" or "exceptions to every rule or cost" in high end audio equipment. In your opinion what is the best kept secret or exception to the cost for the very best speaker you can buy for $4000 or less (Used). Your feedback will be greatly appreciated toward building my short list. Thank you.

I will second Newbee on the Paragon Jubilee / JEMS. Paragon is now out of business but they use Dynaudio drivers that can still be obtained direct from Dynaudio. I wanted to by the pair here but am in a finacial pinch and can not. They are similar to the Watt/Puppy but much more enjoyable over the long haul. Wilsons can be analytical and fatiging, not the Paragons though. I have a pair of Paragon Regents which I also think are one of the best kept secrets but not as much as the Jubilee / JEMS. These speakers are awesome and at 2300.00 that is a steal. They have smoked most speakers I've heard under 10,000.00 (IMHO). Contact me direct if you have any questions about Paragon.

ATC Active 20's... They are internally bi-amped. So sell your amps and put the money towards a pair of new ones... www.atc.gb.net I've never heard a better imaging, neutral, or dynamic bookshelf speaker that disappears more than these...

I don't know how "secret" these are, but I love my Genesis Vs ($3700)
