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.

Sound-wise, I am looking for an upgrade to my Grado 325i's - I love their details and treble, but looking for something a little less harsh and with a little more bass punch and resonance...
Any thoughts or comments would be very much appreciated!
These are harsher in the treble than I remember with the Pandora Hope.Comfort is okay to me, though I never had a problem with the comfort. More clampy headphones tend to bother me more. I too would like to hear a direct comparison with Pandora to confirm my thoughts, but in the listening I've done these may bit a too fatiguing to my taste.
Regarding the sliders, it seems like they have fixed this issue. The Pandora's were too loose, these on the Sonorous seem to stay put.
If you like the 325, another option may the "Magnum" drivers by Symphones. They are smoother than the Grados and have more bass. Their DIY though, replacing the drivers in Grado or custom enclosures.
The sliders are definitely more stable on these however. They slid on the Pandora just by putting the headphones on. Once again, may be product variation but on my pair they are much more stable than the Pandora I owned.
