Re: Theoretically..
i won't claim to be an expert... but i will claim to be right .
by your definition of identical sound, no two speakers anywhere have ever sounded identical. this is, if nothing else, due to the constantly changing magnetic fields moving around and through the planet as well as the gravity of the sun, moon and other celestial bodies that pull on the magnets and coils in our speaker drivers. no, even your average college campus wouldn't be able to measure these effects in a meaningful way, but I know they're there!
the reasons i listed for speakers sounding different actually cause speakers to sound different, regardless of room acoustics. what you have talked about are reasons why the same speakers may sound different in a real room. as i said already:

...you are absolutely correct that those considerations you listed will affect the sound we hear...

the point is, this is not one of those questions that is a matter of opinion. there's no around and around. this is a theoretical question. the part of the question that specified "in the same room" i read as a room that does not affect either speaker differently. it's a yes or no question. the answer is no, they would not sound the same. of course somewhere around 1% or less of the time that answer would be wrong because the speakers would sound the same and that would be a fluke. what i have tried to do is list the some of the top reasons why that answer is likely to be no.
i am fully capable of being wrong too.... ask my wife.
