BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.

Hmm... Perhaps I'll give a pair a try in my crossover too. Easy to do for $10. 

Dear @imhififan : My take rigth now and with out tested in the midrange/woofer filters is that seems to me could exist no reasons to use Wima in any tweeters speakers. As I said and every one knows for many years Wima is a true standard in the whole industry regarding use of capacitors.

The examples I posted at least two of them are way demanding for any room/system ( Gladiator/1812 ) is a really true test overall at all the frequency range and especially at the SPL I listened those two recordings: 95db-97db at seat position with peaks around 105db-107db.

Yesyerday I Listened at the same SPLs these recordings:

Dire Straits Love over Gold and I never heard in any system Mark Knopfler guitar so " rigth " with not strident ( for that SPL. ) but with the normal agresiveness live MUSIC sound has.
Botn " parts " in the Telegraph Road track where outstanding as was too both " parts " on Private Investigations.

We have to remember that even that the Wima are only in the tweeters midrange harmonics are reproduced down there.

I listend too:

Self Control by Laura Branigan and I was really surprised by the rythm that today has my room/system.

Same happened with the original ( long version. ) soundtrack of Cat People where in the track Putting out Fire Bowie really shines but the rythm is just impressive. Music on this recording came from G.Moroder.

Finally: Fun Fun ( two girls voices. ) Color my love with same results.

These 3 last recordings are way demanding for any system room.

What I listened never losted " figure " everything rigth on " place " with very good instrument separation and at the same time fully integrated in between.
The girls chorus in the Bowie recording track now has definiton and are vivid as never before where I was listened but " nothing more ".

Something that I took in count during all my tests evaluations ( I’m still testing it. ) is that voices sibilant almost disappears in all recordings with female and male voices.

Yes, it’s a huge discovery for me. Testing doing things and thinking out of the box is from where I learned. I never say NO, I try and if I don’t like it the change I did it the return to its before status.

I forgot, in the past when testing at that SPLs always left a ears sensations thattook several minutes to disappears and this time that almost not happens. Rigth now my " hat off " for Wima.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Dear @paulcreed  : ""   you prefer the cheap Wilma? """

Certainly yes and as I said please don't " worry " about its extremely low price.

My samples were used devices and I dont know Wima time to settle down. You stated that that time is not in your  " fun " list " but caps normally needs some hours. Obviously not weeks or months like some other caps.

My take is that you must try it.

Dear @cal3713  : I tested the Wima in parallel and series way  ( due that I have not the values for a single cap that I will order. ).

For reasons I have not explanations in the ban-pass filter works better in parallel and in the tweeter in series. Both cases/ways with two caps on each fashion. and that's what I'm listen.

Now are so cheap that we can try all configuration ways for evaluations.

I may try. You sparked my interest, I found a supplier, he's emailing me availability on mkp 10, there hard to find in USA. Only from what I googled wima may be tipped up/ cleaner from Alumen z. I find the z more on the warm side of the CRM. This may be why you like the wima. The CRM is more neutral than Z for me, I find CMR/Z combine well together. Funny you mentioned tambourines the CMR reproduces that cheap tin metal sound very well and sometimes I use tambourines to judge a cap, tambourine is hard to do correct. Playing drums since a little kid I have problem buying hand hammered Turkish ride cymbals and metal snare drums and also use that to judge caps. Metal snares aren't muddy like a wooden snare. The CMR is good at that but it's not perfect but I find it neutral and fairly true to live music. The Duelund silver bypass goes well with it. One of the best things I found to reproduce that metal crunch sound is a DIY 6 gauge solid core silver wire with neodymium magnets with the RCA center pin punched out and silver wire is connected directly from amp to Preamp with no interference, copper or aluminum braid is return. It does slightly roll of highs but I fix that with a acoustic zen ref 2.
