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.

I'm currently waiting on a Topping Stack to compare.
Not pictured: Audeze isine10s that I keep in my bag for walks around.
Can you describe the sound !
Because I have Magni 2 and NFB-11.28 and I want to buy the Darkvoice tube amp for my HD6XX’s
However, I also listen to metal, punk and electronic music more frequently so I've been reaching more for the 4xx since I got it.
For me, I prefer the 4xx (luckily I've had no build quality issues other than the headband stitching being a little crooked).
To me, 6xx with the Magni 2 is great, but the bass isn't as satisfying as with the Darkvoice. But, you get more of the highs with the Magni 2, since this is a brighter sounding amp from my experience.
I think it's worth trying tubes with the 6xx, and the Darkvoice is a great value when it's on drop here for $199 USD.
I‘ve heard that rolling the op amp in the A30 makes the instrument separation even better. I may try it though it’ll double the price of the amp.
Overall, I’d recommend the Topping stack especiallily since you can score it for under $200 or sometimes under $175.
If you wanted an all In one dac amp and like the size and portability of the nano iDSD BL, it’s good on its own! Magni 2 Uber is a great amp also. Haven’t tried Magni 3
