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.

My hi-fi headphones -- the HE-6, TH900 and now the Utopia -- are on a different planet from a technical perspective compared to the HD600, and more importantly, are highly euphonic.
I don't have a "desktop setup", but rather a reference chain.
Source: Dedicated PC, i5 100% fanless, external SSD power line, running Windows 10, Fidelizer Pro + JRiver Transport: USB with ferrite rings to Schiit Wyrd USB regen out to DH Labs Silver Sonic USB cable to LKS Audio USB bridge (with separate linear power supply) out to I2S (HDMI cable). DAC: Gustard X20 with basic AC mods, all PCM input converted to DSD-256 via I2S link, dedicated wall outlet using Audio Sensibility Testament AC cord. Output Audio Sensibility Statement XLR. Amp: Schiit Mjolnir 2 with Reflektor 75 Silver Shields, dedicated wall outlet with the DAC using a Lessloss Standard AC cord. Power: DAC and amp are connected to Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) outlet (NCF-treated copper with rhodium plating). All other components connected to a seperate outlet using a Tripp-Lite Isobar with noise filters. Headphones: HE-6 (modded) + Moon Audio Black Dragon v2 cables, TH900 and Focal Utopia.
This guy would probably cry himself to sleep after listening to my, or any, real audiophile setup.
