These were really amazing little speakers

Thanks, Craig. Enjoyed talking to you again about speakers and photography.

Its amazing that the x-overs are under $200, is there a woofer on the side?

Yes, in my haste, I selected a picture not showing the woofer. Here is a better pic. Total retail non-sale cost for all drivers was $191. The xovers were roughly $100 each. The two big PP caps on each crossover were roughly half the total xover cost. I thought about substituting much cheaper NPE caps, but I wanted the visual impact of the big caps on the front of my "display" type xover blades. NPE's could probably be substituted with little impact on the sound.

Missed out on hearing these, did these play right after the lunch break?

Yes, >200 ran from 9am to about 11:15am, break, then Dayton ran from 11:30am to 1PM, lunch from 1-2PM, then <200 ran from about 2PM to 3:30PM. My "Totally flats" were the 2nd speaker played in the <200 category, sometime after 2PM.

They're not. MWAF only requires the drivers to be less than $200.
