Though the room was not treated, they moved each speaker before hooking it up.
I've zoomed in on one of my shots; it's a bit blurred but you can see the marker tape on the floor.

After all we want to do justice to Frank Van Leuvenhaege who lives and breathes for TAD... These are not just speakers, he likes to call them "meetinstrumenten" which I would translate as "measuring devices" or "gauges".

Cheers,

Cables seems to be from Absolute Creation (absoluecreations.com).

I've never heard of them before and I've never listened to them but from the look it seems like a regular cable in a nice package with a good markup (though not extravagant).

Bart - Thanks for sharing. Sounds like it was a great event - fairly intimate with excellent equipment. Agree with others, the finish of TAD equipment looks great.

Meta....thank you for the clarification. I guess I jumped the gun by assuming the pics of the speakers was where the speakers remained throughout. Thanks again
