So, nothing in his room has changed, and he's using exactly the same equipment, with the speakers in exactly the same position, and the mic set up in exactly the same way?

I doubt it. Measurements taken in room are useless for anything other than looking at how things are measuring at that time. You especially can't compare them against each other.

I'm sure the Revels are better speakers, but can't trust anything he says to back that up.

Exactly.
He stated in the review he had the M60s at 30" from his back wall, twice what he normally "prefers".
That already leads to the idea that his speaker locations were not the same when measuring.
Same as angle of placement, something he also referred to as a difference.

His total score at the end is useless when incorporating a subjective opinion as part of that score, but more so, what was the objective bar used to score the other categories?
I didn't see a defined scale.
If build quality is a 9, how was that ranked? By speaker weight? # of internal bracing components? Driver shape and dimensions? etc.

These reviews are like watching the aftermath of a car crash as you drive by.
You can't help but be intrigued and want to look at it, but on the other hand, you probably shouldn't be gawking at it either.
