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.

Wondering if that lush purple colour is with all Fostex THX00 Purple Heartsz?
I know grain can be slightly different, just want to make sure I get that stunning Purple colour.
Any one? Not sure a light Purple Heart would look OK? Thanks for any info! :)
EDIT: The lush purple color is only when sunlight shines directly on the cups, and since these aren't really portable, that won't be happening much :)
Really appreciate you coming back to me. I can say that the colour you have is by far the most delightful so far!
Cheers. :)
I can post pics soon enough if you're interested.
I will come back to this thread and fingers crossed photos of my Purple Heart cups. They will be hopefully as filthy sexy as possible! Although I have a bad feeling. :(
Do let me know what extras you have procured. Am thinking of putting mine in a case in its leather pouch lol.
Also few days ago I manually crafted and quilted a headband to fit the X00s perfectly (the DT990Pro headband didn't fit it at all), with a soft foam padding and buttons on top so you can remove it and wash it. I must say I am very happy with the results, veery soft on the head and helps to support the weight of those wider angled pads. Pics:
Have heard from several sources be it people, review or YouTube and the saying the THX00 PH are not shy in to date in the bass department and seems to be the most Bass friendly (Also a HUGE bonus). I love music, all music, some more than others, but I remain with a fully open mind to any new music I listen to. How few things make me smile as much as when I listen to music. Music affects us in so many ways. Feeling for me is a big one as I tend to play to how I feel, or how I should be feeling LOL. With this slight bass availability, my daily work fodder is typically upbeat EDM, Breaks, Drum & Bass with vocals is on a whole new level, the same for Dubstep. Club, House, Trance…You get the idea. So, if the PH really do have a bump in bass but and it is a big BUT, not at the cost of any other part which is so hard to do.
As I am based in the UK, it can be a little difficult at times to get what people have, such as the ear cushions although on Amazon I found Brainwavz and they have Sheepskin Memory Foam Ear Cushions for Overear. Do they look the same my friend? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brainwavz-Sheepskin-Memory-Foam-Earpad/dp/B01J53KM32 I sincerely must say that the head band you made is EPIC! Black all the way.... The fact you have thought ahead about giving a clean now and then is tip top! I mean it that when I take delivery of my PH I may need to request, very, very politely for a Camper Head Band upgrade..Maybe some polystyrene cutouts to get the balance right with the better fitting pads if that honour may be bestowed upon me sometime soon.
Much Appreciated >o:)
About the cushions, I am from Czech Republic and I actually ordered a pair of those Brainwavz from the UK Amazon which you linked me. Except that you linked a flat pair of cushions and mine are angled, so careful with that. Flat would change the sound in a different way than the angled ones, tho it's a super minor change but I haven't tested them yet :) Here are the ones that I have: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brainwavz-Sheepskin-Leather-Angled-Memory/dp/B01J53WTUQ/
And thanks for the head band compliments, I'm glad you like it! You're gonna see for yourself once you get the cushions. And hey, we can get in touch if you're interested in the headband, we're both from EU so shipping should be easy :) However I might want to experiment with different materials for the headband first, perhaps a real leather would be more fitting, I'll see. Though, the materials that I've used now are extremely comfy already and do the job really well.
1)If you are there now, I will reply to a message with just a generic email. Copy it and see if you can delete the message, if not, I will.
Mission accomplished!
Big thumbs up for Czech Rep....Easy in the top Euro countries and I would know!! Will reply to your last message when operation email is a success!!
I think that works LOL?! >:o)
GO GO GO GO GO GO :P
Thank you very much for sending through the angled ones. I did see an angled version, but just memory foam, not sheepskin so very glad you picked up on that for me and even went to the effort of linking the right ones. Tip top helping Sir!
Have downloaded your headband modification and damn it looks good for a first try. I will be completely honest and say I would not be able to make that. Different skills, although I am envious of you modders and DIY champions! The reason I mention this is that I can make suggestions, but they may be stupid, unrealistic and makes you laugh so hard,
Front view of just the headband in view they look good . Another front on with the headband and the cups looks fine. The side picture lets it down as it does not have a clean cut look BUT as mentioned before, you just made it which is spectacular in itself buddy so a high five to you!
I would say invest in leather, black. In my mind, if you create a far more comfortable headband, do not distract from those beautiful cups so black leather would be perfect. Not sure if you have thought about it, but if it is created using poppers, maybe more of the decent memory foam can be increased a ittle or decreased to fine tune the headband pressure? Just a thought!
No need to skimp on these cans, especially as if the sound profile is as I been told so many times, including your good self, it will be part of my life as for the music I listen to, it my be the answer...Fingers crossed on cup color, no defects and that planar Fostex sound!
Cheers! :)
