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.

HI REvrob,

We pulled the trigger several years ago on full-range speakers (Vienna Beethovens--very musical speakers) with an added REL SW for the ultra-low-end addition. Just curious for an update--have you added a subwoofer to your setup?

I too listen to the same type of music. Do you have LPs? If so, what Christian LPs/CDs are very well-produced? I have only a couple done well--2nd chapter of Acts, Phil Driscoll, Chuck Mangione...looking for better quality spiritual music...Jazz and Classical tend to blow away the Christian market in LPs and Cds. Makes me sad...
