…with the cables out into the room.
What’s that all about? 
Convenience.
Or in the Naim factory dem room - dealer training.

Indeed. Part of the dealer training was to hook up a system while blindfolded…

It is so you can watch kittens and puppies chewing your expensive cables.

Brings a new meaning to direction.
I like the colour coding of amps and speaker cables with insulating tape.
I do the same thing with my mono power amps. 
Still looking for the rationale behind this …
I think it’s obvious but that’s me.
It enables perfect cable dressing easier to achieve. Making sure no wires touch each other, which becomes more important with high level systems such as 500 series.
And in the case of @Keltik it’s easier if you are changing system configuarations !

Maybe even easier if you put two racks side-on, with a gap between and backs of connected items opposite one another, so connecting wires can be short and go straight across, though gap wide enough to manage dressing of power and speaker cables. Perhaps power cables should drop down from above and speaker cable up from below, or vice versa…

I’m sure in the past it has been asked why the speaker connections on Naim amps are on the wrong way round, left for right.
Then, if I am correct, early Naim amps were made for studios, so connections being important, the sockets faced outwards.
Go to any Chord cables demo and more often than not the connections face into the room.
Hence, someone trialling cables?
Her indoors wouldn’t be very happy if mine was like that

Where the mains switch is on the same face as the sockets it would all mesh well with that face outwards… my amp’s power switch being bottom centre of face opposite the one with connectors is the only reason I have mine with the cables at the rear …but then I have my amp out of normal sight in the room.
