In my humble opinion, and to a much lesser extent in my experience, boxiness is an intrinsic problem with high efficiency woofers in reasonable boxes - the box is so big that the large surface areas of the box radiate significantly. It is not really practical to make 2" thick cabinet walls in a 6 cubic foot cabinet, let alone 6" walls.
I once helped a friend approach the problem with an 18-inch ID sewer pipe section 3ft long - the walls were 2" thick concrete IIRC. It succeeded acoustically, but then he got married ... :^)
