To save you the time reading, by matching the 23 bookshelf speakers above to Table 1 in the paper, we can isolate the ones used in the study.
Here they are as ranked by Consumer Reports. In brackets is their 'Accuracy score' based on CR's flat sound power model, as well as CR's "Bass Handling" score. In the article, CR says the overall ranking is mostly based on the accuracy score, with some weight given to " the ability to play bass notes very loud without distortion."

- Bose 301 Series IV [89/Very Good]

(Poor KLH can't catch a break)
So, as we already knew, they are mostly 2-way bookshelves. And unsurprisingly, most of the top performers are Harman speakers. But the one consistent thing among top performers is the use of what appear to be purposeful waveguides.
@amirm , in case you were curious.
P.S. I see a pair of Infinity IL10 for $79 a pair on eBay.
Just sayin'
