Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs)

Hi all, looking to upgrade the Solen 4.7uF 100V caps that filter the low frequencies out of the Accuton tweeters on my Coincident PREs.  Started by looking at Duelund's, but PartsConnection doesn't even list prices for a lot of the models (or is out of stock) at that value... that motivated me to try and collect some impressions from the group.

Apparently Isreal is using Mundorfs in that position at this point.

As always, thanks for the input.

Thanks Erik. Also, just to be doubly sure. I don't need to worry about voltage rating as long as I meet or exceed the original value (100V), right?

Right. You could probably even go lower, but hard to find a film cap any less. :)

Of course, higher voltage = higher cost, so watch out!

Have you thought about using paper in oil caps?

I am partial to the Jupiter Copper Foil.
To me the Audyn True Copper can be just a little tilted in the upper mids.
The Jupiter Copper Foil paper and wax is my Favorite,although not cheap
