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.

There is an argument for short cable runs that going unbalanced lets you avoid a pair of op-amps that sum the balanced live wires (flipping polarity on one), which is why you'll see very pricey high-end home gear sometimes using unbalanced. So, balanced isn't always better than unbalanced if you have that choice. However, you can't bypass the op-amps these JBL speakers are using internally, so you might as well stay balanced.
