I've got some square speakers! Look up Sony APM speakers, flat aluminium diaphragm in place of a circular cone, but if you look at it from the back you'll see a small round cone attached to the back of the diaphragm. Not bad speakers, I have some here, part of the FH-7 mini hi-fi made in the mid 80's.
