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.

BTW, the PSB 3Ts does look nice!
Skimrn, Looking at the Marantz PM-10 manual, page 5 shows the rear panel item 2 "AUDIO OUT".  This output is labeled (RECORDER) output which usually outputs the full (all the way turned up) signal. Try connecting these L&R RCA connections to the subwoofer with the subs volume turned almost off then slowly increase the volume.

If this works for the subwoofer you can purchase a pair of affordable long RCA cables from MonoPrice or Blue Jeans cable to locate your sub anywhere in your room.

I was in your shoes 1 month ago. I have a very nice pair of stand mounted speakers. I wanted more bass and fullness of sound. I did not want to give up clarity though. I bought the Goldenear Triton Reference speakers. First off, I am looking at them right now and I think they look great. The sound is crisp, clear and powerful. I can't imagine wanting more or better than these. 
    Incidentally I own some Salk Song3 speakers and love them too. Very good especially for the price.

Salk Song Encores do a nice job

Ohm Walsh 4000/5000 will thump

DynAudio Contour 60's

The Tekton's as mentioned

Legacy as mentioned

Most of your powered towers...

Personally, i don't think the Focals thump.
