That square speaker is for a solo-baric enclosure only. It is a push-pull
type enclosure (sealed enclosure on both sides of the cone). All that is
expected from those type enclosures are bass frequencies. Having a square
speaker in a square enclosure optimizes peak performance for bass
reproduction. On the other hand, a square speaker is not intended for full
spectrum reproduction, which is where the round speakers come into
play. Now whether or not a round is better than an oval, I dunno, but it
sounds good. I believe round is better, but don't ask to back that up with
facts, as I don't have any. But being taught about sound waves and how
their produced and full spectral reproduction, round is better, or rather
more accurate, but only in the higher frequencies (~15KHz and up).
