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.

and how would both of those compare to the dt770? This is my first foray into 100+ cans and I want to make sure I get the right fit. Currently own cloud2s for comparison.
@MrDynamicMan I had a year old DT-770 250 ohm that I ended up giving to my dad. People said those have a lot of bass, but one thing that the 990 had was that deep sub bass that was super good for movies and explosions. They were decently good, but the 990 pro and he-350 I liked more. I think, just acquiring open back headphones and coming from closed back was the more mind blowing thing for me. You get such a wide soundstage, and you also have an easier time pinpointing where sounds are coming from with open headphones. With whatever headphone you go with, I'd say dip your toes in any open back cans. With the He-350, lots of people are having trouble with the treble. I ended up putting 2x2-ply tissue paper (making it a total of 4-ply) to calm down the highs a bit. Since it was only 99 dollars, I opened them up and started doing my own kind of mods and testing them to see what sound I like.
Also, do you have any mic recommendations? I've been eyeing up the blue yeti, but I'm sure there's something better out there. USB is a must, I don't feel like messing around with pre amps and phantom power, etc.
