There’s nothing fancy about the crossover. The Purifi PTT6.5X is so well behaved the LP filter needs about 3 parts for a 1.5-2Khz LR4. All wave-guided tweeters bring the tweeter back in the z-axis, helping with time alignment AND you don’t have to worry as much with cabinet edge diffraction so you can tune your crossover using on-axis measurements and the rest of the off-axis falls into place.
One of Erin’s earlier previews shows good quality parts in the crossover but values were not shown for obvious reasons.

The one cable tied down looks like a Janzten P-Core Inductor

I see the price bumped from 4K$ pre Erin's video to 5.4K$, I really hope it's an Aussie $ vs US$ thing 🙄
Actually, when I saw the retail price, I was surprised at how low it was. Knowing the cost of the drivers, I would have expected a retail price of at least $6k, and $8k as more typical.
In the US, the retail cost of drivers from Madisound would be $2400 for two tweeters, two midbass drivers, and four passive radiators. Even with the discount that March would get as an OEM, it is hard to see how they could turn a profit at $4000 per pair. If they make money at $5.4k, it is a credit to their low overhead and very efficient processes.
