Well, you have a question. Now, how do you find the answer?

It seems to me that the plants are positioned such that they are acting as diffusers of sorts. I also wonder about the influence of the floor lamps on the overall sound.
The plants on display in the Affordable Audio / King Sound room were real living, breathing, photosynthesizing plants. The two 6ft. Bamboo Palms were supplied by Green Effect Event Foliage in San Clemente, CA. Their intended purpose was not acoustical, merely aesthetic.
Regarding the two lamps, if they were major contributors to the overall sound quality of the exhibit, I have a great new inexpensive room treatment for audiophiles.

Re: the two lamps, you may be onto something.
How about this, measure the room without the plants, lamps, or Synergistic bowls. Then measure the room with just the plants, then just the lamps, then just the bowls. Then measure the room with a set of legitimate absorbers, diffusers, and basstraps from GIK, Auralex, Real Traps, or MSR Acoustics (or any of the others). If the Plants or Lamps measure closer to the bowls than the absorbers, diffusers, or basstraps, I'd say you have a winner. Or you have an expensive bowl.
I like these speakers but they don't play that loud.
