Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers

I have a budget of $3,000.00 for a pair of used speakers. I am buying used so that I can maximized my choices. My listening is mostly jazz, old R&B, and contemporary Christin music.

I have seen speakers in this range for monitors like JM Lab Micro Utopia for $2,000 and then I would add sub-woofer. Or Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Sig System 2pc for $3,200.00 shipped. Is there a big difference in sound between monitors and a good sub or a full range. I have only owned full range speakers and thought I might try something different.

Looking for comments from those who have owned both and why they preferred one or the other.

My room is about 18 x 14 with 9ft ceilings.

Equipment:
CD player is Cary 306/200
LSA Signature Integrated Amp
Verastarr Cables and interconnects
BPT ac conditioner

Thanks.

Marty,

I'm looking at the NHT XD system with two subs. What
do you think??

Thanks,

Marty,

Thanks for the detailed reply! My room is pretty
forgiving @ 20x20x12 leading into a partially walled
dining/kitchen area.

Have only read about the XD system, and waiting to hear
back from one dealer on shipping, and been in touch
direct with NHT about a set.
Also thinking about (also never heard) a pair of
the Mirage OMD 28's Being sold at over half off
their retail of $7200.

It's a tough decision! But, I cannot help to think that the
NHT as a specifically integrated system cannot be less
than awesome!?

Thanks,
Bob
