Talked to mouser few days ago only cap they have 6.8 which is for bass driver and mid driver in 2.5 crossover. Tweeter caps for me are 8.2 and 4.7 and 1.5 for rear firing tweeter. Maybe I'll replace 6.8 for the hell of it just to see only cost a few bucks, honestly would be surprised if it sounded better than Clarity cap.
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.

Dear friends: I finish my tests evaluations with the Wima caps in my tweeters and band-pass speakers crossovers. I said finish because I received from Mouser the precise wima caps values I need for, so I’m not listen any more to parallel/series caps but single cap on each position. I have to say that today Wima is the best harmless and signatureless cap I experienced first hand in my system These Wima caps are dead neutral/colorless and does not adds any " artefacts " I can be aware off and does not needs weeks or months to settle down only a few hours from new. Between today and tomorrow I will try to change the the caps in the mid range crossovers: 16.8uf and will see what happens down there. Btw, with the tweeters Wima caps happened something that in the past happened too when I added the super-tweeters in my system : the most notorious listened improvement with the ST was a better bass range and soundstage definition.
