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.

I don't own them either (as nobody really could at this point) but I do own their predecessor, the Creative Aurvana Live! which are nowhere near dark. They have a very mild bass boost, but not so much as many other cans (less extreme than ATH-M50X, which is supposedly a studio monitor, for example). They are quite smooth and very detailed. The trebles (tribbles?) are certainly not harmed by the bass.
Where did you hear that they are dark? You need to double check your reviews if that's the impression you got.
Zeos doesn't seem to like hearing bass, so it's not surprising that he'd call them dark. They are not that though.
