Smooth curved cabinet surfaces optimize frequency response over faceted ones.

Evidence

The rectangular truncated pyramid and rectangular parallelepiped combination enclosure with an off-center driver, Figure 6.65(c), offers a considerable improvement. If the front surfaces are smooth curves instead of facets, the response will be even better and will have only been limited by the abrupt transitions from the rear FIGURE 6. — David M.
