Why do I want to avoid oval 6x9 speakers?

[QUOTE="Grmanalishi, post: 2310445, member: 571188"] I got bashed on some other forums for this, too. I guess 6x9s have round voice coils (not sure if that comes into play or not) but from what I gather (from "audiophiles") is that the shape of the cone inherently produces stress is certain locations in the cone therefore producing distortion. A round cone won't do this. Maybe the distortion can not be heard by the human voice, I don't know I'm not a speaker designer. Even at the Polk website someone gave me this information on 6x9s. I got some nasty remarks when I posted a thread stating that I recently purchased some 6x9s. [/QUOTE]
