Turned on or off...

, so are you saying I should have both speakers on for some freqs and not others?
No, he's saying with both speakers turned on you will have trouble figuring out which speaker needs moving or equalization to correct a problem. He's saying you should test each speaker individually first and make all the adjustments necessary to smooth their response. Then after that's finished, turn on both speakers and test again to reveal any interaction that might be occuring and make any further required corrections.

This is the same process we usually go through when equalizing a subwoofer and mains speakers. First the subwoofer is tested alone and equalized and then both mains and subwoofer are tested together to check for interaction.
