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.

I must say though the differences were not night and day. Just a little bit more fun on the PH side.
The main thing that concerns me is the output impedance on my Xonar STX, apparently it's 10 ohms compared to the 0.1ohms of a magni.
The impedance matching may be a problem though. I have the same thing with my Focusrite interface which I generally use as a DAC. Its output impedance is also around 10 Ohm, because it is optimised for studio use with AKGs and Beyers, mostly over 80-100 Ohms. I wasn't really trying my TH-X00 on it, but it significantly changed the sound of my M50x for the worse (37 Ohms). I ended up buying an Arcam rHead, which was sold here for quite a bargain considering its versatility and sound quality. But you are very well served with a Magni 3 as well.
