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.

Here's a couple pics of mine:
Like a few others have mentioned, my left cord is also twisted. There's no way to untwist it without dismantling the left cup. I'll just leave it for now.
Man, the bass on these. :D I'm usually an open-back headphone guy but I do have a pair of AKG K550 that I use at work for the isolation. Initial impression, these smoke the K550 in terms of bass.
These really are easy to drive headphones. They don't scale up as dramatically as say, the AKG K702 65th Annies that I have. Those scale up linearly from the D1> O2> Asgard 2 noticeably. These Fostex do get a bit better with more power, but not dramatically. If I had to pick something, it would be that the bass is tighter, not as loose as on the weaker amps. At least that's what I hear. YMMV since everyone's hearing is a bit different.
Have your considered the MM2U stack? Spec wise it's not very far off from the new A-B stack at less than half the price (1/3 if you were considering the Multibit Bifrost). If it was available when I bought my old A-B stack, I probably would have bought the MM2U stack instead and spent the extra money on the Vali and some headphones. Granted, I haven't listened to the MM2U stack so I can't comment on how different it sounds from the A-B stack.
