Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
I must agree with "russbutton" and those below who have suggested the Linkwitz LX521’s and Orion’s - they are truly superb speakers and incredible values. I have the Orion 3.4’s, and there are very few speakers for less than $20K+ that can match t... 
Speaker Recommendation: 20K range
This is why Legacy Audio Aeris - go to 7 minute mark on video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUJS7nQVA6I

$20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch!
Very few speakers compare to:1.  Legacy Audio Aeris (by far the best sound for the money)2.  Tannoy Canterberry Gold Reference3.  Linkwitz LX521 (best buy)Buy the first two in the used market, and last one is Madisound Kit.No comparison at anywher... 
Soundstage and explosive dynamics?
Those would be:1.  Linkwitz Audio Orion's or LX521's2.  Legacy Audio Aeris (pre-owned for about $15,000)3.  Audiokinesis Dream Maker, Zeprhin, Prisma, Jazz Module...Or, if you don't mind a monitor, which sounds like a floor standing speaker - a re... 
$3000 Speaker Search
Though... I should mention... that if you're sensitive about the appearance of your speakers... the WaveTouch Audio speakers have a bit of an "other worldly" appearance, and do not rival the "finish" of many others.  My priorities, however, are th... 
$3000 Speaker Search
Most of them... and... yes, I can say this without reservation.Read the reviews - not just my opinion, but those of many, many others.If you don’t believe them... try these speakers and see for yourself... it will cost you nothing, but the price o... 
$3000 Speaker Search
These may be the "best speakers in the World" - certainly for their price and size - read the reviews, and you'll understand. I’ve got 2 pair - and... I’ve not heard anything to challenge them at many times their price. Though, they do have except... 
What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under
Those would be - Linkwitz Orions or LX521s or Legacy Aeris (if bought in the used market - below $15,000). 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
May be "over-thinking" it a bit. The REL T or S series subs are great for music... if... properly set up and integrated.And... yes... A DAP or EQ (e.g. DSpeaker Anti-mode 2.0, etc.) with automated frequency analysis / set up is invaluable to elimi... 
Best small used monitors under $1000
The Wavetouch Grand Tetons are superb and compete with virtually any speaker made - can be found used for <$1000. True "giant killers!"Second choice would be the KEF LS50 - without question. 
whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money
Yes - concur with Anti-Cables as great cables for the price.  Though, I've also made my own anti-cables speaker cables , using magnet wire purchased on Amazon - very economical, and sound about the same. 
2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K
Absolutely only one choice, as cb5300 suggests, nothing compares to the Legacy Audio Aeris!
