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.

Deutsche Grammophon famously used Sennheiser HD-600s for mixing orchestral music for years, and I personally think they sound gorgeous and work well for recording despite being a tad relaxed, so they might be another option for you -- esp. when they go on sale before and during Black Friday.
Of course, none of those headphones look as beautiful as the TH-00s, but it appears that sound is the most important thing to you. That said, the MDR-V6 / MDR-7506 has been the most ubiquitous headphone in the studio world for nearly thirty years. I used to see AKG 501s and, occasionally in small studios, Grados, but never as often as the Sony model you own already.
Occasionally, I visit the Brooklyn studio of a producer I partnered with for decades and along with his Telefunken mic pres from Abbey Road (yes, the ones that were used on the most lavishly produced Beatle albums), classic Neve and ProTools setup, he uses your headphones in the control room. They're that reliable.
Here's the room:
