Adults trust adults on their words...
So useful or meaningful photos of a system could be, we are supposed to be friendly and polite..
I dont understand the bullying and blackmail and threats to anybody...
Why ?
Because it is evident people proud of their audio system will put it here in image anyway ...
Some prefer discretion because their own average system is not in a so beautiful room...That means nothing about their life experience...Some had very beatiful room and system and dont want to put it here... They are free and i will listen and speak to them anyway...
My first system photos here were with average components in a completely "crazy/" homemade laboratory acoustic room... I learned acoustic with one year full time experiments each day...
I am confident in myself and for the sake and motivation of others who dont own costly system , i posted mine, so ridiculous it appear to be for the eyes here... The title of my virtual system page is " top audiophile experience for the non wealthy "
Most commentaries i received even by private emails were sarcasms by idiots...
Now my system had improved esthetically 😊 because i did no more own a dedicated acoustic room but headphone... I posted images of my three components... I am proud not of my components so much, but about the way i optimized them MYSELF to reach a TOP soundfield at peanuts costs... but it cannot be seen in an image..
I dont judge people on their virtual system image or not...
i will read any good faith poster, and i am here to discuss with "friends" not only about specific audio questions but more general one about music and sound...
My main interest now is no more improving my system , it is done to my utmost satisfaction... My main interest is about the question : what is sound ? What is hearing a sound ?
I dont appreciate "totalitarian" demands for images and blackmailing people insinuating they are not worthy of trust because they dont put their room in display...
I dont like those who despise other people for this reason...
Trust, respect, fair discussions matter more than image of your supposed "competency" because you own a 50,000 bucks system...
I smile at this "naiveté"... Audio is about acoustic not about gear cost or appearance... And by the way acoustic did not reduce to costly panels on a wall... I learned this in my experiments.. And photos dont tell this story at all ...
By the way the OP question is a legitimate interesting question...
We are free to answer it or not...
