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.

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.

The Usher BE-10 listed for $8800 would have some serious bass and they're pretty dynamic too.

The JL E series subs do have speaker level inputs.  Look at the manual.  Connect a second set of speaker wires from the amp to the sub and then set up the subs crossover based on the cutoff frequency of your Revel's.
