Default Re: Why are speakers elliptical?

I always thought the narrow width provided the higher frequency, 'tweeter' effect, and the wide width provided the bass notes, the 'woofer'. Sort of combining two speakers of different diameters, and to some extent offering the frequency response benefits of both in a single speaker. But I never read that, I just believed it!
