Klein + Hummel 0300 to big for my room?

Hello,
I am planing to buy a pair of Klein + Hummel 0300, my room is 4 meters depth by 2 1/2 meters width. i am wondering if the 0300 are to big for my room, should i go for the 0100 with the sub? I produce electronic music and want to do some home mastering.
Thank you in advance.

Go with K+H 0300 that will be fine the 100 'll do the job but if one day you like to crank the monitors may be you 'll be right there. T
The room been calibrated? first step, after that go for monitors.

There's a guy selling a used pair of 0300's for the same price of the 0100's in the classifieds! You'll love them.

Get the O300s really great monitors !And if you got the budget i´d add the O800 Sub as well ! Absolute top-notch monitoring system,but be prepared to do some extensive acoustic treatment so you can match the rooms quality to that of your monitors.

The O300D is not a hugely powerful speaker, so a modest room is probably better.

A sub is best avoided unless you have a large, nice room, and know what you're doing.

Agreed. But they can also sound great in a large room with the sub.
