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.

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.

A used pair of Perspectives by Joseph would be the best I know of.
Problem is no one sells them. Hint. Are you a patient type?
How long has your search been going on?

How are you using the subs xover if you are using an integrated amp? Are you sure you are hooking it up correctly?
