Much appreciate the test
@Χ Ξ Σ! You put a lot of effort into doing this right, certainly much better than most comparisons we see!
So I
personally feel there are still too many variables for me to be comfortable with the results of this determining that the KH310 + sub is better than a kh120 with sub, especially given the SPL levels involved. I know OP's goal was more to find which one they preferred, but just as a bit of caution for people assuming that the KH310 is better due to some aspect of its big extra driver when both speakers are being heard at low SPLs.
I will sound like a broken record, but I believe it is just as likely that some combination of FR/directivity of the KH310 plus its interaction with the room/setup was preferred rather than just bigger=better. While that may be true if all else is equal, I don't really think all elese is equal here. Very different vertical directivity, lower frequency directivity control in the KH310, smoother average off-axis at 2kHz+ (by contrast, I don't think the 'jaggedness' of the KH310 measurements matters all that much). Directivity makes it nearly impossible for two speakers with different designs to fully alike, even if they are both very good, and one-on-one comparisons tend to exaggerate differences, which is why the harman tests typically use a minimum of three speakers.
Plus when listening in stereo the frequency of interaural crosstalk dip will change with the different positionings of the speakers, about 1.8kHz at 30 degrees, and rising as the distance between speakers gets smaller relative to your LP. That alone will color the sound of each speaker differently given fixed positioning, exacerbated by the nearfield setup which has proportionally attenuated room reflections that could 'fill in' that perceptual dip. To continue to play satan's lawyer, a speaker sounding "fuller and heavier, like if the sound was solid" is also how I might often describe the change in a given speaker from using a bit more toe in or positioning the speakers closer together.
So on and so forth.
But the test did determine what you thought was best
for you, and that's what matters most, and I appreciate you sharing the results.
