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 have just received my HD6XX yesterday and just plug it into my Edifier C3 amplifier(an desktop speaker + amplifier set).It can drive the HD6XX at fairly loud volume that is loud enough for my music consumption. But I found the HD6xx is lacking in bass in most of the songs (i mostly consume pop music). I know HD6xx is a more neutral headphone, but the bass is just too weak for my favour at this moment.
Is this because my HD6xx is underpowered by C3 amplifier? Will an O2 amp helps boosting bass and make HD6xx sound better???
I am considering an external amp but i am not sure how big an improvement will this make
This is indeed helpful to know that lacking in bass is one of the symptom in under-amplification.
I will consider buying an external amp. At the sub $100 price range, is there any better option than the Massdrop O2?
I am new to the audiophile game so please forgive some of my non-sense.
