I am wondering whether my drc already did the near-field compensation for my
normal speakers when the measuring microphone was at the listening position.

As long as it has an ipod docking station, people will pay obscene amount of
money for it...
Maybe another source for this myth is that really low frequencies tend to
couple from the woofer to the floor to the walls resulting in bass coming from
all around you. Next time I do plating on one of my walls I will mount a
speakers coil and stator behind it and leave the cable outside. 8-D
Have fun,
