Doug Schneider, editor of Good Sound, part of the Sound Stage network, wrote this article back in May of 09:

Part 2 has a great photo of the Harman room used for blind testing of speakers.
Both articles are, IMO, extremely well written. Schneider seems to be keenly aware, honest and investigative, instead of repeating a specific dogma.
IMO Sound Stage currently has the best loudspeaker measurements (done at NRC) of any audio magazine. If one knows how to interpret those measurements, the subjective reviews come into context
