FULL RANGE vs. SUBWOOFER+NO FULL RANGE


Hi all, I'd like to know what is better for symphonic music with a budget of $2500 for the speakers: full range speakers or speakers + separate subwoofer, or speakers with build in powered subwoofers. can I get high-end sound with any of this configurations within my speaker budget? which combinations would you recommend me in this budget for my musical tastes? your help on this matter will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

"I could never live witha sub bass, grate my nerves,
I need ~~Musical bass~~, huge difference,...+

I wanted "musical" bass which is why I chose the Rel sub.
I also have a small (11’ x 12’) listening space and replaced large floorstanders (Vandersteen 2CE) with standmount monitors (Kef LS50) and a small sub (Rel T/5i). This allowed me to place the monitors for best imaging and the sub for best bass. Loved the Vandies but they just didn’t work well in a small room.
