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.

Stoppers and adapter, focus on the adapter. My adapter does not appear to be put together well, the outer part of the large end moves and the cable does not insert all the way. I will probably just use my own adapter.
Pre burn-in sound review (Warning, I am not an audio professional so I'll do my best to explain my thoughts. Also, a pre burn-in review is a bit pointless but oh well): Sub-bass is a bit light compared to what I'm used to (my HE-500s, no surprise there), but present enough Bass is strong and punchy, right where I want it Mids are a bit tingy and slightly drown out, but I imagine that will clean up just fine with burn-in Female vocals are beautiful Sound stage is hard for me to explain. Symphony No. 7 I feel like I am listening to the song, with the HE-500 I sound like I'm right in front of the orchestra, or partially inside of it. Maybe burn-in will help, or maybe it's the nature of closed headphones (I'm only used to open).
Equipment for review (not the most realistic to test with, but it's what is right in front of me at the moment): Schiit Bifrost Multibit HiFiMan EF-5
Will put in some burn-in and relocate them to my Schiit Modi 2 + Schiit Asgard 2 rig soon.
