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.

The answer depends on the sensitivity (dB @ 1w/1m) specification for the speakers you plan to drive. Cranked up should hit about 104 dB with an average 88dB speaker sensitivity, which is fairly loud.
The above chart is from the data sheet for the amp power stage in this unit (TAS5342A). The power supply is 24v, so the "4 ohm: 80 W x 2" in the Drop description is already an overstatement. At 8 ohms, the power output will be 40W x2.
