BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.

Dear friends:I really need your helpwith first hand experiences with speaker crossover capacitors founded in next main experiences/tested premises: for a 3-way speaker design, high resolution audio systems, very low distortion audio systems, wide systems frequency range, " zero trade-offs ".

I know that the best capacitor is NO-capacitor, well I need your near to that full experiences with another desired premises from you: audio systems using SS electronics and mainly listening MUSIC through digital sources.

All your opinions/help are appreciated.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

Check out the Tidal speaker crossover:

A more cost effective way, how about consider stay passive for high and mid, go active for the low?

Damn ... those are some real serious speakers ... I am afraid to ask how much ... like asking how much a Ferrari costs.  If you have to ask like they say ...

Dear @imhififan : I have to say that I never heard yet Tidal speakers that I know are very good performers and that speaker crossover could be only a " grain in the sand of sea " that could confirm that " exeption confirm the rule " like the ones I mentioned that just don’t use those " boutique " caps. Maybe in the future things can change. Who knows?

It is " weird " that the fans of Duelund stay " dead silence " : why?

Yes the active filter for the woofer could be an option and could be a better alternative. Thank’s.

If you don't need audiophile names on your caps check out some of the surplus Russian caps. Teflon, glass sealed caps at a couple of bucks each, mil spec. Since they are Teflon they don't have paper to degrade and are a high quality cheap alternative.

Dear @billwojo :  "  If you don't need audiophile names on your caps....."

that's not the main subject . As a fact I use Duelund resistors in my speaker crossovers.

I can use Teflon caps in the midrange/high frequency drivers and my needs rigth now is cap for the woofers where I can't use teflon caps due that I need 100uf caps that is a very high capacitance for teflon units.

Thank's for your post.
