I don't see what's "concerning". That's not a terribly varied plotline you have there overall. Yes, you have some peaks and some troughs, but jeez, this is not so bad. Maybe I'm way off?

Until you get to almost 10kHz, what's the big problem that you see?

And, BTW, was this C weighted reading?

I'm wondering why you're getting such low readings when you go from 8kHz up the scale. Sounds like either a tweeter isn't putting out well or your room is soaking up the HF quite a bit.

I'm given to understand that room EQ isn't really for boosting troughs as it is for taming peaks. If that bit of CW is correct, you might benefit from a supertweeter, but one that's set down into the audible range (as most except the really expensive ones seem to be), or maybe a new tweeter. Room EQ probably can't be used effectively to boost the HF downslope you have there, so another source of HF might be in order.

But since I'm still new to this myself, don't take what I'm saying here at all to heart until you ask those more experienced. In fact, you might be better off posting this Q in the Speaker Asylum.
