There's no question any sort of curved/elliptic shape would completely change the manufacturing process which is fairly straight forward and relatively inexpensive with a couple of angles on the sides, but make it elliptical you either layer it with many thin sheets of mdf or layer it the other way using several thick layers cut from solid mdf. Only other method I can think of is if they can form the mdf into a mold and compress it in it's "mushy" state....all of these options increase the cost of manufacture considerably. It probably would have little or no effect on sound, only on appearance. I do, for the record, like curved cabinets though.
