It looks like the speakers were just plopped into that room for the photo shoot.

Re: Martin Colloms WA XVX - Review
I always enjoy Martins reviews. The room is incredible!
My in-room response measurement (shown in the lab report) is unusually uniform and extended at low frequencies
and this points both to the efficacy of the correction and not least the high potential of the loudspeaker when well matched to the room acoustic. It was quite extraordinary to find that, when driven by the Chronosonic XVX, this room measured uniformly
down to a very low 15Hz -3dB, and was estimated at only -6dB down by 10Hz.Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers, Borresen Model 01 Compact monitor loudspeakers with Ansuz Darkz T2s Supreme resonance control, Audio Video Manufaktur GmbH (AVM) Inspiration amplifier & streamer, Innuos Zen MKII music server, Ansuz Acoustics cables & accessories.
