Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

Yes these headphones you could run off of just your laptop, pc and a music player but you will be missing out on a much better sound experience. And this has been proven scientifically as well as subjectively on a multitude of forum posts on diyaudio and head-fi where increases clarity, better mids and highs along with tighter bass (Q701 specific) have been reported.
The proof is in the pudding as they say - I learned my lesson by hooking up a set of HE-400's to a dedicated amp after having been using them from a PC. Night and day difference.
I have a few solid state amps, Schiit Asgard, nuforce icon HDP, Audioengine D3, JDS labs C5D, etc. and (used as amps only) do change the sound. Depending on which headphone I use some are affected more than others. ...
Cheers, K
