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've auditioned at least a dozen tower loudspeakers in and around $10K and up.  Of those, the speakers that had decent base and hover around or at $10K, are the Magico A3, Revel PerformaBe F228Be, and the Legacy Audio Focus SE, in my opinion.

I like my PSB Imagine T3s. I haven’t heard them compared to Focals, but reviews suggest that the Focals are more technicolor while the PSBs are neutral and somewhat self-effacing.

Goldenear Trident Reference. Good bass, great imaging, detailed without being bright.

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 .
