Trying to decide between:
-Kef R3 + hypex nc251 + SVS sb1000 (already have the amp and sub)

-Neumann kh310 +kh750 sub
My room is treated but small, and need them to work on mastering.

Kef option would not have the DSP option, but It would be easier for me as I already have the amp and sub.
Which would you choose? Or which another option I have?

The kh750 with KH310 is a weird idea except you masterise at low level.
Sometimes it's good to read the specifications on the brand website.

I know their power capabilities are different, but I usually máster at 85dbs.
And from the neumann siete:
"The perfect complement to KH 80 DSP, KH 120 and KH 310"

So, only If I need more than 105db....I would be on trouble isnt It?

Honestly I think you cannot go wrong with both options. Maybe the one you like most, or that gives you less trouble like selling and rebuying (amp and sub).

the KH310 should have much higher output potential. Also sealed speakers produce 'faster' bass because the energy doesn't have to build up in the port.

It's what I think but without trying is difficult to know how much different they will sound, and if the trouble of buying/selling worthy.
