wow they kinda look like the Pioneer PRS comps

but theyre prolly worth 40 bucks for a reason lol

They are about 75% off MSRP ($200) because they are last years models and being closed out.

Not a bad price for a woven cone, cast basket component set with phase plug... but I believe the tweeter is small, what I would call an economy tweeter.

The tweeter measures almost 53mm across. Would it be likely it's a 1" titanium dome like in the Arsenal ARS650 set?

ARS650 manual (page 17) shows 52.6mm across

FS6/5 manual (page 1) shows 53.8mm across

- I think you are right, I must have been thinking of another set of speakers.

At any rate, lowest price I ever saw those before now was in a catalog for $130.00
