Let's take a look at that statement more closely. The general idea is that speaker drivers of other speakers in the room would act passively and interfere with the pure sound of the speakers under test. That might be true is there was a passive radiator in the room, but probably not for most other speakers, they won't react enough to acoustic waves in the room to be audible. So, if the sound is degraded it probably isn't related to the theory that secondary speaker drivers are responsible.
What is more interesting is that even if you removed the drivers from secondary speakers in the room, not even connected to the system, the sound in the room would be worse than if the secondary set(s) of speakers were removed from the room. Furthermore, any secondary electronics in the room or secondary cables in the room even nor plugged in or connected to the system degrade the sound. But it gets even worse, any cell phones or land line phones in the room degrade the sound. Even if they're turned OFF.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, gentle readers. These issues and others like them are important when it comes to controlled blind testing, as most people are unaware of theme or dismiss them out of hand. And they are some of the reasons I say there's no such thing as a 100% perfect test. There are too many variables including unknown variables like these.
An ordinary man has no means of deliverance.
