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.

to my ears, Stax is less lively but more natural, sound is also more "accurate". Its very much like "kodak film vs fujifilm" in the old days. Kodak gave you more red and hence, much richer tone. Fuji less red and more green, less eye catching, but more natural. Hope you can "feel" what I am trying to say here.
I might risk offending some ppl here by the following statement, for the reason of looking for more natural sound, I marginally prefer older stax (srx mk3/ lambda pro/404 ) than modern ones (507/L300/L700). :)
Electrostatic headphones, stax/koss/kingsound have different character than traditional dynamic cans, keeping just one pair of cans (whether it is a dynamic or electrostatic) is not fair. You are being too mean to yourself.
Go and work harder, earn more and visit massdrop more frequently. My 2 cents.
