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 if they are metal, are they steel or aluminium? (does a magnet stick to it?)
Is the isolation good enough for public transport?
Oh, and what's this "L1/28" and "L1/100" thing I keep seeing? Are they different models or different versions of the same model? What are the differences? Which one are these?
Isolation is okay, certainly better than on-ears or full open back sets. I wear these at work exclusively, in a large room I share with a coworker and the return duct for the office HVAC unit. It's pretty loud in here all the time, I can still hear when the phone rings or my office mate is speaking, although I cannot make out what he is saying. I find they do a better job than my AGK K553Pros but not a good a job as my ATH-M40x.
The L1/28 v L1/00 thing is apparently a region code issue which concerns warranty. The only place I see L1/28 is on the bar code on the bottom of the box. The box also clearly states there is a 1-year limited warranty(USA only). I do not see L1/00 anywhere. I was able to register with philips though (i'm in the US).
Then you habe to search for your product and then create an account. Then I had to upload the recipe from massdrop. And that was it. I also did my shp9500 the same way.
Previous/recent participants: What was your turn around time from drop end to receiving it? I'm going overseas for a bit in just under two months, and wouldn't want to ship it twice instead of take it with me.
Once the pleather gets all ratty and scuffed you have to engineer your own repair or replace the whole thing, which is great for the maker, but a bit of a "fuck you" to their customers. Continuing the car analogy, it also prevents you switching in different tread-patterns, whitewalls, etc. Some people prefer velour pads, for example.
