HiThis layout is possible, but depends on priorities.
You need to understand all the use cases and real required SPL (including any headroom required for DRC correction if needed), then decide.
All active monitors have protection and barely will be damaged, but KH310 are still nearfields and I see no reason to use them if they will be constantly driven to distortion.
I think it's better to consult professional installation company.
After reading many replies on this thread and the last one I have to revise my position just a bit. The Neuman KH 310 are superior to my speakers and they may play loud. They are however nearfield monitors... That caveat remains.
On a whim , I put the movies "6 Feet underground" and got this:
Notice the maximum on the needle .. it was a peak of 115.6 dB ... The whole thing was stupendously loud: My ears are still ringing. I will never subject myself willfully to such again...
I seat much closer at about 9ft , I have included a picture of my seating position. I would say that at those levels, whatever amount of distortion and there had to be plenty, was masked/drowned by the signal levels. Perhaps better speakers with less THD could have let me enjoy this... I don't truly believe so. It wasn't pleasant.
One could debate the accuracy on the App on my iPad .. But ..
