member system photos???


I notice on a lot of member system photos, that a lot of the rooms are not set up for a proper listening experience...ie; mismatched speaker posistions, lots of equipment racks in between, furniture to close to the speakers, etc. is it just me or am i missing something here...you would think with all the money invested in our systems that one would want the best possible stereo image and room response... I very well know that "whatever floats your boat", BUT... any comments?

Hmm, good questions, but I would say this will be difficult to tell from
pictures. Take a look at my system pictures and you will notice

1) Furniture and even worse a big TV between the speakers.

2) Speakers placed very close to the wall.

3) An equipment rack close to the right speaker.

I guess my system page qualifies as one of your negative example. In my
defense:

- I prefer to live in smaller apartment in the city than a big house in the
suburbs. Just not willing to compromise that way. Of course, the system is in
the only living room.

- Let me asure you that the speaker placement in that room has been
optimized, by listening and measurement; the current placement was the best
compromise in a limited space.

Just my example of course...and just to show that Life if full of compromises
;). Great thread!
