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.

These need modding and patience to bring out the best in them. The most basic change I can suggest is to use an equalizer on these to bring down some of the treble and add some bass. Even then, results will vary quite drastically. The soundstage seems wide but I feel like the strong upper-mids help the HE-350s to 'fake' some of the width. Plus, I've noticed that the upper-mids and trebles don't strike me as particularly high-quality after using them with an amp.
If you're not particularly interested in all things audiophile but you can stretch to $200, get the AKG K7XXs, which are probably all the headphone you'll ever really need.
If you're sticking to around $100, try the Lasmex L-85s that appear on Massdrop occasionally or get the AKG M220s with an amp.
