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.

Thanks.
I think that Aune X1S + Aune X7S give a better sound than either of those.
Jotunheim is in a similar class of sound. The difference is that Jotunheim has more bass, less treble, narrower soundstage. In a side by side comparison, Aune stack has a more clear, detailed sound, a bit more expensive sound, if I may.
If you separate Jotunheim and Aune and keep one at home and one in the office for example, you'll be fine with any item.
Shiit Stack I didn't like at all. It sounded muddy, unclear, puffed. I exaggerate, of course, but no way I would recommend Shiit Stack.
If you only want to go with one item (~ $200), go for Aune X1S. I had to get used to its rather light sound (a lot of treble). But it's very good in my opinion.
