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.

You have 6 months to save your money. Buy a REAL tube amp. The entry level Woo Audio is the WA3. It's an OTL amp @$599.00. Factor-in tube upgrades. It blows away the DarkVoice 336se in both, build and sound quality! I've owned both. If budget is still a concern after 6 months, the DV is a decent solution. I found a super clean, used WA3 for $375.00. The owner had another $400.00 tied up in NOS tubes. He had (2) pre or drive tubes and (4) power tubes. We made a separate deal for the tubes.
You now own a quality pair of cans, do them justice and buy a REAL amp. There are a ton of nice solid state headphone amps out there too. I own a Beyerdynamic A20 paired with the new Beyerdynamic DT1990Pro's. BTW, the DT1990 Pro'S are great, great, did I say GREAT cans!!! An incredible value and fantastic sound quality for the price!
I just happen to prefer "tubes" when it comes to amplification....
A good value dac would be the schiit modi multibit.
Can't wait for the HD 6XX to come as I currently only have B&W P5 series 1 right now for "on the go" uses.
Thanks
At least the shipping is cheapest to Asia! lol
They are in Canada and I am too, but their domestic shipping cost (i.e. within Canada) is more than some retailers have charged me for shipping from Australia to Canada! No joke!
