No I elegantly deal with them (room resonances) by producing less resonances in first place (closed enclosure), as much as possible of course. Better three way speakers have midrange drivers physically decoupled in their own physical closed enclosure. Closed enclosure generally improve mid range in any design and after all two way + sub is a three way but not crossed to fully decouple midrange (250~350 Hz).Two ways is no go for classical orchestra. You do not want a hole in midrange or wild phase swings. And you are right - if you use room resonances, you can have higher bass level, but this will be "one note" bass.
An example:
HEDD Type 20 MK2 Monitor Review
This is a review and detailed measurements of the HEDD Audio Type 20 MK2 DSP studio monitor (active speaker). It was sent to me by the company and costs US $2,399 (each): As you see, this is a ported 3-way design using an AMT tweeter. You also get the option to close the port using an extremely...

Of course closed enclosure increases cabinet resonance and THD per SPL, but I am not in a persuit of realism of space shuttle take of or close to stage rock concert SPL.
