I believe the first effort to work around this with loudspeaker design called was the BBC dip. In sweden the stereo error compensation in speaker design is a well known factor, at least the readers of the forum www.faktiskt.as :-) and I believe not many of the better loudspeakers in the world are designed with the target of a linear frequency responce in a anechoic space today.
Bot still a lot of loudspeakers are designed to have specific characteristic and not to be way to recreate the sound that was recorded.
