This issue is fundamentally distorting your sound. Yes, you can get accustomed to that and ignore it. Better yet, avoid making any measurements of your room/speaker response, so you will not actually and consciously know it is there. You can substitute beliefs for actual measurements freely. All the better to sing your system's praises to you and your ears. I am seriously doubting that most other listeners would agree if they actually heard it. But, your happiness with your sound and the paradigms that you espouse are up to you, even if they have no relevance to anyone else.
I'm very much aware that people listen with different ears - my focus is for the sound to fool me, rather than be technically correct in some area - I've already mentioned listening to setups which were FR corrected, using plenty of processing horsepower. That all the dB swings not longer existed made no difference to my hearing that the sound was obviously "just a hifi system" - for others, this may have made a dramatic improvement.
