A friend of mine designed many speakers over the years and often, but not all the time, would design them with a slight downward slope with increasing frequency. I believe it was because if the on axis response is flat the power response is bright because of the energy becoming more concentrated as the dispersion narrows. The slope compensates.
By the way the original Acoustic Research speakers were not flat at the center settings of the driver level controls. The drivers were flat but the center setting of the midrange was at a lower level than the woofer and the tweeter lower than the mid. In this case , though, it was to compensate for the high frequency noise on the recordings of the day. And it is part of the reason an AR speaker sounds so dull today at the mid 'flat' settings.
