Max SPL vs frequency from soundandrecording.de reviews.[snip images]
Realistically how much louder is the KH310 vs KH150?

@amirm I know you don’t rate performance based off of price but I know you’ve heard and measured both the KH 120 and 150. If the application was just desktop music listening on your computer, is the performance that much better to justify a $3500 purchase when you already own the KH120 or is the performance increase to $$ ratio not worth the upgrade in your opinion?
The KH150 is a near field monitor so it's totally suitable for desktop use. The "laptop" icon you have marked with red box means "portable" which in the case of the KH150 is totally right as the size and weight could be a limitation for many but on the other hand, the "iMac" icon shown on the KH120 and KH150 means "Desktop" use. The only limitation I see for the KH150 is the size of your desk and distance from listening position.
KH 150 is not suited for computer desktop, as Neumann suggested.
The white looks great.

I usually listen between 60 dB(C) and 75 dB(C) at ~1m. But this does not change my previous statement, which was only about max output matching.At which SPL levels do you want to listen?
Could be said that the limitations of the KH750 is a weakness of the KH150?I usually listen between 60 dB(C) and 75 dB(C) at ~1m. But this does not change my previous statement, which was only about max output matching.
I use one KH 750 and it has clipped a few times on bass heavy material, even at those level that might be considered not that high: the KH 750 does not get really loud.
How? The KH150 just has higher SPL capability than a single KH750 (within their respective bandwidths). It just can’t keep up.Could be said that the limitations of the KH750 is a weakness of the KH150?
They probably follow the principle that a sub is to add range,not SPL.How? The KH150 just has higher SPL capability than a single KH750 (within their respective bandwidths). It just can’t keep up.
Well then, use a 3” sub. You can EQ it to 20 Hz flat. It just won’t go very loud. It still don’t see how one could blame the KH150 for that failure?They probably follow the principle that a sub is to add range,not SPL.
I don't blame it at all,just pointing out that this is the right way (not 3" of course,it must at least match the satelites better still with a 3-way so the usual 100-200Hz hole not to exist and have the midbass who distinguishes the "big" sound).Well then, use a 3” sub.

That's what audiocheck net states about subs.And I think it's the right way to see it.Doesn't it makes more sense to go for the KH310 instead of getting the KH150 + subs?
Maybe? SPL capabilities between the KH310 and KH150 (excluding the sub) are very similar:Doesn't it makes more sense to go for the KH310 instead of getting the KH150 + subs?
For bass I would just go for 1032C..Doesn't it makes more sense to go for the KH310 instead of getting the KH150 + subs?

When Genelec introduced their new MDE aluminium enclosures after they had been working with rounded cabinets already in the 90s, it happened after the great-greatuncle of one of the founding fathers had visited his great-grandchild at the headquarters:If it's so irrelevant than why is Genelec using mostly aluminum?
The global Neumann offer, for me is really a dilemma:Doesn't it makes more sense to go for the KH310 instead of getting the KH150 + subs?
