I am sure there is a reason, or reasons more likely... you could start
with the prevailing attitude here that oval cone drivers have some
inherent flaw. If you're trying to sell people speakers based on them
sounding great, do you start with a driver that most people beleive is
inferior? Or do you take the safe path and put a pair of 5.25's around a


Good point, however, my suspicion is that oval speakers would have found
their way into home speakers a LONG time ago and is the case with
everything, these drivers would become more and more refined and
sophiticated. Sure, if I was desinging a speaker RIGHT NOW THIS MINUTE the
safe bet would be to use a pair of 5.25" as opposed to a 6X9. But that's
simply because THERE LACKS A MARKET for very high-end ovals.

And going back to my original argument, why does the market lack high-end
ovals? Because years ago engineers recognized the drawbacks inherent in the
oval cone design (see Matt's posts regarding specific reasons why the oval
is inferior to round cones).

But if the oval speaker had been used for years in the home I would expect
to see high-quality drivers to use in my imaginery speaker system.
