Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k

Hello all,I am searching for full range towers with great bass for under $10k.  I do have a sub (JL E series), but seems that when I hook up my Revel F36s directly to my integrated amp, it sounds better directly than going through the sub, sub's crossover, back to the speakers.  I am guessing that the sub's crossover is the factor that degrades the sound quality.Ultimately, I decided to explore full range speakers in order to eliminate the subwoofer.Triton Reference has great specs, but they are too tall and unattractive for me.PSB T3 looks great with frequency going down to 24hz.Revel 229Be looks really nice.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

austinbob, have you played any symphonic music with your T3s?I've been wanting to hear them for years but no luck and too expensive for me to buy unheard ,love their look  and if reviews are correct they are right down my alley .

I can speak only about what I have experience with and I suggest you do take a listen of Focals (948) and Revels (208 and 228 which is even better). They have a very decent bass.

If you need even more bass, it gets cheaper.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with your speakers or your subwoofer.

Doesn’t your integrated amplifier have preamplifier outputs? What brand and model is it?

JL Audio states that using the E-Series high level (speaker) inputs for receivers and integrated amplifiers without line level outputs is not the desirable method.
