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 wonder what Sennheiser has in store for us in the future :D
A color change could be a possibility and an additional naming change.
as for new stuff, a lot of new crap has came out since hd800, and all they do is make a new orpheus and hd800s
people say sweet spot is hd650 because beats target the same pricce point because hd650 was that same price point, so it's not really because hd650 is the right price, but then eventually it was because of hd650
but still, 200 dollar is a better deal, ad900 k601 are both miles better than the 300 dollar experience of anything out there, also you can ebay off some rando k501 k240df
I have heard a lot of headphones and consider myself a audio enthusiast. I tried Everything from HD598 to HD800 and know what differs them from another. I have also listend to many other headphones and appreciate the differences.
Now there is a certain thing that botheres me. When I listen to different DACs and AMPs the differences between them are minimal or not apparent and I wonder if it is just me or the entire industry is full of snake oil. I hear the differences between tubes and regular amps, but other than that a Fiio E10k and a jds labs objective2 odac sound somewhat very similar. I hear the difference between headphones clearly, but thats absolutely not the case if an amp or a dac has reached a certain quality like the Fiio E10k. Has anyone had that same experince ?
I've said for a long time that at as long as the DAC is capable of handling the source material with low noise and low distortion, and the amp has enough power to control the speaker or headphone, at least 75% of the differences in sound between two systems is the speaker or headphone, and I stand by that statement 100%.
As far as placebo and snake oil on head-fi goes, you will find people who swear by their $500+ cables on head-fi, even though it has been shown that there is no functional difference between a coat hanger and said $500+ cable, except that it looks nice.
