there is still a small peak at 25Hz and a small dip just after 100

huge dip and peak at 4.8kHz nd 6.5kHz respectively
Interesting. The garden graph shows that you're in good shape below 3KHz when a room isn't involved. You can use that graph as a standard against problems that show up in the studio.

The above 3KHz problems still need to be sorted out. It's hard to say if they're caused by the mic or the speaker. You'll need to determine this. It would be easy enough if you had another model speaker to test outside. If it was smooth above 3KHz, that would reveal the problem (assuming a sample size of two speakers was suffice).
Your speakers appear to be two-way, so the wonkiness can't likely be attributed to a crossover. It has to be the mic or the speaker. I would concentrate on that......

We haven't discussed it, but I'm assuming you've done a proper soundcard calibration and created the file and did a cable loopback test and got a perfect flat response with it before you began.........
