Your words were hedged, but still seem like jumping to a conclusion based on a photograph.The listening room used for your speakers in Sound City many years ago (in Denville New Jersey) looked like it was an odd shape ... but I DID listen before I told them it was the worst listening room I've experienced in an audio store since the 1960's -- I called it the "Cubical Reverb Chamber".
A picture, particularly of a near-field set up (like my own) may look strange ... but the sound can be very good.
I know some audiophiles are so quick to judge components/systems/rooms that they sometimes come to conclusions just from a component list, or from a picture of the room ... but that is nothing more than jumping to a conclusion without an audition.
Ctiticism from "armchair analysts" can be very insulting to the audiophile whose system was not even heard ... before it was criticized.
