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.

But I've been using HD-280 Pro and PC 350 SE for over 10 years now and they are both closed back Sennheisers... their bass is pretty decent since they are closed (from what I read of Sennheiser headphones).
These HD-58X produce better bass than my older closed back Sennheiser headphones while keeping the mid and high clear and somewhat accurate.
As an amature/novice/entry-level audiophile wannabe... I LOVE THESE HEADPHONES :D and they are 150? worth it trust me.
I use mine with a Creative Sound Blaster Z card and they sound really nice but I'm really curious about how much better they can sound with different amps and dacs so these headphones are a nice way to motivate me to upgrade my sound gear at great bang for your buck price point.
I'm just confused what an AMP will do in this case since the SBZ gets the 58x to a decent volume already, so I'm really not sure.
EDIT:
Best bang for buck from what I can tell would be the Schiit Stack which is a Magni 3 AMP and a Modi 2 DAC for 200 bucks.
But I'll continue researching.
Thanks for your reply!
The only way it would sound better is if the amp has less stereo crosstalk, higher dynamic range and less noise.
