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.

It's basically coming down to the HEM 2 vs. these Primo 8's! I really can't afford more than the $150 these cost, and I don't want to wait another month or two until these drop again, so I'll probably be ordering the HEM2 for $100/new!
Any reason not to grab the HEM 2 for $100/new/Shipped?

I mainly listen to my own Recordings with Schoeps mics/cables/preamps, and a new SD Mixpre6 recorder, and I ONLY listen to 24 Bit FLACs (24/44.1>24/96 FWIW) through my portable setup, which is:
Sony Walkman NW-A35>FiiO E11K HP Amp>Nuforce EDC IEM's/Monster iSport Victory earbuds, both with Comply Isolation+ and Comfort+ Large memory foam tips!
So I obviously want something that is nice and balanced across the frequency spectrum, that has great clarity and resolution, as well as a decent low-end that is Quick and punchy, and decays quickly! DEFINITELY not something bass heavy like the Beats By Dre are, nor anything with a V-Shaped sound! Oh and an extremely low noise floor as well, so that I can hear the clarity and purity of my Schoeps mics and SD Mixpre6 recorder, which have exceptionally low noise floors as it is!
Thanks in advance for any help yinz can give me LoL 😁
So if anyone thinks that I should avoid the HEM 2, (because of the sound signature that I want and described above), please speak up now, because I plan on buying them with in the next few days hopefully 😎👍🎧
