We may never know if there is a simple PEQ running in software to tame down a room mode for example.

Sure, makes sense for marketing. But this is not ethical, imho. They could just hide the cables or use some good looking thing and say they made it themselves and they match perfectly with the speakers or something like that. But the Valhalla product even has the same font size than the speakers, like they are equally important for the "chain".
The only excuse for promoting snake oil products is, if someone actually believes they do something good. But Magico is way too expensive for me anyway, so whatever.
But if RME or Genelec used something like that in their booth, i would find that extremely disappointing. I hope and trust they don't. I know, they do not depend on mislead people's money.

I think you need all that to purify the BSIt's so weird. You might think it's a picture from a large-scale physics research facility, but it's just the back of a stereo system.
Over here we call that the "Gangsta lean", but it's usually the reclined seat back, not speakers. What's going on there? Treatments on floor too?82 pages so far and very little tat interests me personally, apart from this,
If you haven’t tried the Baach system you should!

For this reason, I am very disappointed with NAGRA, for example. I can still remember their old tape recorders, which were fine mechanical devices that made sense in the professional recording context of the time. Today they pander to 'oligarch hi-fi'. Their new turntable I find completely off.
82 pages that thread, just scrolling all of them is tiring, let alone Leo visiting, photographing with such a high quality, and uploading it all! Incredible effort.
I have never understood why people find these multiple pictures intriguing when you aleady have seen the same speakers and gear many times. What's interesting is getting an honest report of the sound quality together with a few overview pictures of it. And if something actually sounds great, it would be nice to hear about the technical ideas behind the design. Most of these reports are repetitive and uninteresting.
Also: can we please not see pictures of the audio "designers" or audio "journalists"?
I started going through it again and stumbled across this:

Probably not the best environment to assess judgment, but I trust your professionalism, so I'll ask: How was Perlisten?
Having done a bunch of audio shows from the other side of things, I can say that, while maybe a company like Magico can pick anyone they want, these pairings are frequently a product of financial contributions to the cost of the show. We've shared a room with fancy cable brands a bunch of times, and honestly have never felt pressured to defend their need. The people who want to notice the cables do, and the rest don't. The cable noticers mostly aren't interested in anything else in the room and they talk to the cable guys and not me.
Outside the brands that are both high price AND high volume, there are a lot of mom and pop operations and guys with day jobs and retired engineers and things like that in the high end audio industry, and even if they are selling expensive gear, they are operating without much room for error and doing these shows really adds up. Also if you just make speakers and no amps or amps and no speakers you have to partner up. The cable manufacturers are (mostly) totally dependent on others to show their gear.

The cable companies could get their own rooms and just throw the cables on the floor. The audible difference made by the cables would be the same as in the rooms where the cables were attached to systems, and the audio pornographers could get clearer pictures of the cables.
A few actually do just have a display room with stuff on the walls sometimes. I've seen that a few times at the bigger shows. But again, that's the big companies with name recognition and money to burn. You have to display them somewhere and not just pull them around behind you in a suitcase, so many piggyback on the other rooms.
