So I presume these woofers were playing "stereo". To my meager understanding, that's the more important of the issues here.

Yep, stereo "woofers"! - joeljoel1947 09:41:59 01/13/09 (2)
Forgot to mention that, great question and point. They wre using Bryston 1000w monoblocks. Each channel of Bryston power ran into their relative side "woofer" and then the woofer ran through the xover and up to the sat. It was stereo from top to bottom.

That was another "advantage" they had here to minimize localization. Preserving stereo into the bass with your subs is touted by many, including myself!!

  The mini's were sitting on some sort of wood contraption, but those were NOT the woofers, right?
  
  The woofer is the really skinny thing in the corner with the lamp on it. I've read some threads where people say there was only one woofer. So those BIG boxes the speakers were on were just something to sit them on, right? And there were TWO of the skinny subwoofer boxes behind the speakers?

    The wood is just stands. Inside is the xover.
    
    The end table with lamp is the woofer. There were two of these---the one you see and another you don't right next to the other speaker.
    
    Magnepan did not light the other woofer, which is why many are writing there was only one. But there were two--this was asked in 2 of my 3 demos and Wendell even pointed out the "non-lit one" when asked.
