Near-field listening gone amuck

I happened to come across this photo on the Mono and Stereo website. It's the recent installation of a complete system in this gentleman's home. Obviously this is not a great room despite the acoustic panels that were installed on the walls. It is extremely narrow and he is forced to sit just a few feet from the speakers. And the narrowness precludes setting the speakers on the short wall as well. I don't know- maybe he gets great sound but you'd think that with the money spent on this uber-expensive system, he could have chosen a better room or enlarged it by extending the back wall. Just my take.
