Statements like "...Time domain measurements, like the step response, are not useful when it comes to measuring the performance of a speaker from a perceptual standpoint..." are pure BS in my book! What is a 'perceptual standpoint'?
With opinions like that Les Numériques undermine themselves completely. I agree in room measurements are not comparable to anechoic responses, but the context of measurements is clearly stated in the CA review and should be quite impossible to misunderstand. The large dip between 2k and 10k is indeed worrisome. I wish I could measure Golds in my own environment to check this.
