Why are there few spherical speakers?

We all know the best shape for speakers is spherical so why are there so few of them on the market? I have heard the excuse that spheres are hard to produce but that is not a good reason because even when you get to the price point of a Magico, they still choose to use the same old rectangular shaped box. 

Why do speaker companies think its ok to take us audiophiles for a ride by selling us inferior box shaped speaker designs?

Gallo and Fujitsu did spheres. Did the engineers at Gallo and Fujitsu base their designs on a faulty premise?
Are you saying these are the best speakers simply because of their shape? I've heard Gallo speakers and they were nothing special, but, by all means, go and buy some.

All the best,

We all know faulty premises make for the dumbest of threads.
