Wise observation...I think the same because my room look awful....But dont sound awful at all....Ifi judged my room by a photo myself i will claim the sound must be horrible...But it is a visual bias that has nothing to do with acoustic experience...
It is the reason why i put no actual images of my room in the virtual system page...
The old one are enough to perturbate most people.... Read the commentaries....😁😊
And seriously, how can you evaluate distance, exact location, material acoustic properties of the material content and topology, with speakers characteristics, exact density of the walls and ceilings and floor and the hiddeen characteristic of the room not visible and evaluable by sight ?
the only one who said he can was speaking of relatively empty room, not small nor too large, and even in this case it is very problematic to judge....
The most important aspect will be before room treatment and mechanical control, the synergy between the speakers characteristic and needs and all properties of the room...This is INVISIBLE....
Those who say they can judge a room by a photo dont understand acoustic and reduce acoustic to panels general rules of placement... alas! acoustic and psycho acoustic are more complex than GENERAL panels mathematical rule placement, trained ears experience judge listening on the concrete room NEVER from a photo....
The only thing we can guess to have great acoustic property by sight of blueprint design not only photo will be the architectural design of a big amphitheater, and even there we must listen, seat there to be sure and to be able to compare with other design...
😁😊
I still think it’s not possible to judge how a system in a room sounds from looking at a photo.
