Focal Electra 1038 Be would be a good choice. I have a pair and the bass is impressive. Flat down to 33Hz. They are selling in the $6k to $7k range for a new pair since they are phasing them out.
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.

A couple of more worth looking into: Used Market DeVore Gibbon X / Silverbacks if you can get them http://www.devorefidelity.com/ New Market Magico A3 https://magico.net/product/a3.php |
Full Range Passive Speaker. Even the best are down 3dB just when most rooms need boost in that region, unless that's acceptable. Full Range w / Internal Powered Sub. Now you've got the ability to boost but the sub / room location is far from optimal and may actually increase room nodes, unless that's acceptable. How about $7K speakers which are flat to 55Hz and two small subs with on board room optimization. The advantages of independent positioning and subwoofers with on board room optimization will dramatically reduce the rooms nodes while loading the room with what will seem like a tighter quicker bass response optimized for unnoticeable system integration. Real controlled full range presentation with subwoofers you'll use with any future speaker choice. |
As @m-db said ”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” I know JL says this but I have very good results using the high level inputs on my JL E110’s. Let me repeat what @gregb63 said ”You won’t find a better speaker then Tekton Encores (9k) for under 30K” this is the gospel. |
