Unclebob. If you want the definitive answer its, as always, 42 (which makes no sense if you are not a scifi fan).
Put another way, sometimes there are no definitive answers. Axiom and RBH (Emptech) are both known to make excellent speakers and both have had speakers in Audioholics reference rooms.
Klipsch, if you look past the stereotyping, also makes some good speakers, though they tend to be in a higher price category than the ones reviewed here.
To me, the most interesting part is Audioholics discussing the shortcomings of their methodology. I have never seen anything similar in any print mag.
For what its worth, I have seen Audioholics criticize speakers, even in more recent reviews.
As always, the best way to get the definitive answer is to listen for yourself. Admittedly that is not always easy.
