with an air conditioner running right at the back cannot be used as any reference.

I could see no evidence that the air conditioner in the photo was running when the picture was taken. It is not difficult to turn off a hotel room air conditioner and the ramifications of forgetting to turn it on are not severe, unlike with domestic refrigerators:

I did that once...
(forgot to turn the 'fridge back on)
No real harm but I was "reformed" and in my new form I set the timer when I turn it off.

Or does you 'fridge not have an Audiophile Power Cord?
At the time I lived in an home with open plan with the kitchen, dining area, living area and entry hall all one large room with cathedral ceiling, about 38 feet by 28 feet square, although the depth varied between the kitchen area and the dining-living area. This room had superb acoustics for my wife's Steinway B and for my stereo, one of the reasons why we purchased the home.
The 'fridge did not have an audiophile power cord. I considered building one that included a power switch with timed power on... :-)

CLEARLY the picture was taken at RMAF which is in DENVER and in OCTOBER.
Recall wearing a jacket to go out at night, and those 300B's don't put out THAT much heat, so I doubt the air conditioner in the hotel room was running.
But the fact that you can't read a post that discusses hearing systems at trade shows, PLUS look at a picture and guess that picture was taken at said trade show and was not someone's home system, tells all.
And who knows, perhaps Gordon uses after-market hard drive cables on his Mac Pro? ;-)
Not to mention that most all of the rooms are configured similarly so every vendor faces similar challenges.... And yet, it is easy to hear the difference between a nice setup and one that doesn't sound so great. Air conditioning in Denver in October? LOL! I don't think so. ;-)
