I do remember seeing some elliptical speakers a while ago.
I rmever reading somewhere that they are less sucpetible to breakup due to the larger radiator size but that could also depend on a whole other set of factors.
A few very basic vintage guitar amps also used them. I'm pretty sure some small boutique amp makers have tried to use them recently, out of some sort of 'retro' nostalgia I think. They don't sound good when pushed hard - the cone distorts in fairly unpredictable ways and sounds farty and raspy. Some people seem to like that though.

Although I have to admit that I'm currently using two 1x12 combos live (one on each side of the stage) for the spread, as we're just vocs, drums, bass and guitar.
