To see the cause of the dip around 1.6 kHz, let's measure the drivers and port very close to their center:

The dip seems to be a property of the woofer. So perhaps having had a crossover at the usual 1 to 2 kHz would have remedied that. While the response of the tweeter is cut off that low it appears to trend correctly. Maybe the higher crossover point was picked so that the monitor could play louder?
My initial thought is to say this is typical cone edge/surround termination issues. But, I'm not seeing the increased THD typically associated with this.
Before I show you the directivity plots, let me post a new measurement I have not shown before which indicates at what distance the speaker acts as if it is in far field:
Cool! I like it!
But, there is some interesting design here that keeps the bass frequency distortion very much under control, perhaps with both filtering and compression:

Nothing special here. Just a high-pass filter being used to cut excursion and thus limit distortion. This is a point I always try to make to people in my driver tests: unless you are running a speaker without a HPF, the LF HD distortions are moot. However, IMD is very much dependent on the implementation of a HPF (where and how steep).
