I've got a better question: who cares?
Seriously. The sarcasm is an unintended but usefully jarring side effect. But seriously: Who cares? Take any speaker that has at any time ever been considered the best, or a classic, or whatever. Any greatly admired speaker. Can you think of one of them that the big reason it was so revered was its ruler flat response?
I mean aside from the followers of speakers like Dunlavy who are happy to have the sound stepped on all over the place just so long as its flat. The vast majority however vote with their wallets for a whole lot of other sonic attributes. Of which perfectly flat response seems to be pretty far down the list.
So its less "why can't" than "why don't". And the answer is: Because hardly anyone cares all that much. Not because it doesn't matter. Because its just one of a whole lot of things that matter.
