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.

Other than that, here are the pictures that I have taken on the headphone:
I'd say the difference between the HD 598 and the HD 6XX (both with amps) is more noticeable than the HD 6XX with or without a amp, but that's just my opinion. With that said, I definitely would not recommended running the HD 6XX without an amp. When plugged into my computer, not only do you have to turn the volume over twice as high as the HD 598, I found that parts of some songs would get noisy and the loss of separation took away from the music, which sounds strange and uncharacteristic of the HD 6XX considering they are typically warm and relaxing headphones (this doesn't mean that I didn't hear low end and depth though). When I connect them to the amp, you could say the 'true' sound of the headphones is made present. When comparing magni3 & HD598 with the magni3 & HD6XX, the HD 6XX sounds warmer yet just as detailed, if not more, winning in about every possible way.
Overall, these headphones are incredible sounding. The depth, slight warmth, detail, and giant drivers contribute to an extremely immersive listening experience. You definitely won't want to be taking these off once you put them on!
These were just my impressions from having the HD 6XX for a few hours and switching amps/headphones and replaying songs over and over. Take it with a grain of salt :)
btw mine haven't shipped yet.
