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.

Ok ribbing aside these are closed back headphones that will provide you with performance that might make you mess your pants if you have a good audio source. I suggest checking out Z Reviews on Youtube he's a wealth of information when it comes to headphones, amps, dac's, etc. You can also reach out to someone like myself who would be happy to guide you towards headphones that you will love and fit your budget.
Seriously though check out Z Reviews on Youtube and in the description of his videos go to his reddit page where he has guides that will help you choose headphones.
Watch At Your Own Risk lol.
Unfortunately for me, I now have the DarkVoice 336i and paired with my HD650s its phenomenal. However, I've already purchased new tubes lol. Thankfully this is a cheaper alternative to buying high quality headphones. $50 for two new tubes and keeping my HD650s in use. Love it.
I actually enjoy the tube sound more than the solid state amp with the HD650s. Drops the highs a bit and everything sounds so warm. I wouldn't say I'm treble sensitive, but my ears do fatigue when listening to the HD650s for long periods of times because it can just bring out the clearest highs from the vocals. My issue is the 5 decibel drop in bass, even though the HD650s aren't bass cans, its still a noticeable drop so I bought a pre-amp tube that SHOULD bring the bass back a bit, I'm curious to find out. Either way, it is an amazing pairing. I don't believe the Fostex Purplehearts will work and I know the mk3s don't work well. Bass is bloated and doesn't sound good, also has something to do with the Mk3s being low impedance. There are mods to the DarkVoice to fix this issue, but eh, I'm okay without it for now.
