When the DWM ships by itself the packing is okay.

The Mini Maggie spec says 40-40KHz. The DWM spec says 40-200Hz. In practical terms none of these numbers are true. The DWM will play down to 40Hz but usable bass is only down to 50-60Hz, with the caveat as you found that they will bark if fed <40Hz at high amplitude. But the DWM does play quite a bit above 200 ... actually 300. The ribbon tweeters will play to 20KHz (not that most of us would hears that) and specing 40KHz is irrelevant hyperbole.

The other misunderstanding of the DWM is that there is mention of using them to augment larger Maggies. This incorrectly implies that they will extend the bass lower. This is impossible and it does not happen. What they do very well, is augment the bass in their operating range. And more significantly - lucky for me - they can be strategically placed to fill in resonance cancellations in the 70-180Hz range.
