Here is a perfect example of the one speaker that was extremely popular with recording studios from the 70's on. The Yamaha HS8. It was the HS7 since the 70s until upgraded to HS8.
For $399, it should be the one of the most accurate and flattest speakers except the steep drop in the top end which in all probability would cause the mix to sound very HOT up top on speakers that have a more linear tweeter response and for folks who can still hear past 12KHz. But for $369, it should be an audiophile's dream? |

I agree, many speaker designers are counting on this.

That graph confirms pretty much what I heard.

Would be worthwhile to mention in this coversation:
"One of the great imponderables in hi-fi is how much the vibrations of a dynamic loudspeaker's cabinet walls contribute to its overall sound quality. Studies by William Stevens in the mid-1970s showed that, with some speakers, the acoustic output of the enclosure could be almost as much as that from the drive-units. Since then, responsible speaker designers have worked hard either to damp cabinet vibrations or to shift them to higher frequencies where their effect on the music will be less deleterious. The problem has been that, without hideously expensive laser interferometry setups or high-quality calibrated accelerometers, plus the appropriate computer software to analyze the bending and flexing behavior of the cabinet panels, the engineer trying to minimize cabinet resonances has to pretty much shoot in the dark."

or 1) channel the strong rear acoustic energy out of the cabinet through a transmission port or 2) greatly reduce the excursion of the drivers by employing more efficient horn technology
