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.

Who does the manufacturing? Is this made in USA, China, or Singapore? Since Razer owns the THX brand, how did that show up here? Is this a product designed by razer or the guys at THX? So who supports this product?
I have absolutely ZERO respect for razer (for gamers, by gamers) when it comes to technical support and corporate integrity. From their thermal issues, to their power issues, to their straight up lies (in the name of marketing)......
Focal has their top-of-the-line drivers handmade by disabled people for crying out loud... just because Massdrop isn't Apple, doesn't mean that they can't deliver an excellent product.
I'm way more concerned by pseudo-scientific babble claiming to be "audiophile" grade. A large chunck of the THX web pages talking about the THX AAA topology is just wrong. Not even debatable stuff. Just flat wrong. I'm chalking it up to an inexperienced web dev.
If the website is accurate, this amp will sound harsher than a saturated Class-D amp. I personally doubt that THX just re-purposed a 1980's subwoofer amp topology and added extra rails for the transient peaks in the high-frequency range.
And following up, THX Ltd is owned by Razer. I don't know that this is definitely an issue, but time will tell what happens.
Min-Ling Tan sucks according to almost everyone... whether he can tank THX by forcing engineering to compromise integrity remains yet to be seen.
