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.

Sound however, is a much brighter story. I feel "warm sound" is understating it: Lows are clearly emphasized, along with an extra buff to the highs, but, the overall sound is whole without anything missing, and like they mentioned, pretty pleasant. For better or for worse (price/performance) these have characteristics similar to other transducers at this price range: The sound is a bit distant, with little to no ambiance, although I do like the soundstage, and hey, $75. I would say that for bass lovers, these sound on par-to-superior against the Philips SHP9500 (from memory, as I sold the latter).
Lastly, regarding construction, these are thin and feel flimsy but VERY WELL BUILT AND FINISHED. A lot of bitchin' here about the subject without making the distinction.
