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.

Same goes for balanced cables. When would making such a move be "worth" it ?
So for example - most folks start by taking their source (Record player, CD player, Computer) plugged directly into the stereo receiver and then that goes to a decent set of speakers or headphones. The immediate reaction is to upgrade headphones or speakers because those are the most visible in the chain - but more often than not, better sound will be achieved by cleaning up the source material - upgrade your digital files to the best available, get a good DAC and it will do WONDERS for your overall experience.
But in the end - don't listen to anybody. Everyone has advice on audio stuff, but you need to let your ears and wallet do the deciding. This can just, hopefully help you get started.
As for beats - no need to worry about me being disappointed there hahaha . Definitely have lots of research and testing to do, but hopefully one day I can join the squad. haha
I have not had any experience with them, but massdrop regularly posts some highly regarded DAC/Headphone amp combinations. That might be a less expensive way to test stuff out.
