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 this is a good product at an attractive price.
At this years Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver, I noticed that all of the demo units that Sennheiser had out were connected to their amplifier with a balanced cable. I had brought my HD600 with me, and plugged into the same amp, so the only difference was the balanced cable, and heard a significant difference -- more tightly controlled bass, better clarity in the high end, and a wider soundstage.
I ordered a Schiit Jotunheim and a ZY balanced cable like this for my HD600 that night. A balanced amp and cable makes a world of difference. Note that you will need a headphone amplifier that supports XLR balanced output to take advantage of the balanced cable. I will never go back to "single-ended" headphones again. The ZY cable is well made, and should hold up well.
The price for Sennheiser's balanced cable for the HD800 is $379.95 from Sennheiser, and the ZY cable with balanced XLR is $159.99 on Amazon. If that isn't enough to convince you that this is a good price, then do a search on Cardas cables.
