Which Mundorf for my tubes?

Got a pair of Antique Sound Wave AV-8 monoblocks to build an entry level tube set.Nice sound for the price.
I'm trying now to change caps to improve them,and decided to try Mundorf as Auricaps are not availiable here in Argentine.
A dealer has in stock the Supremes and the Supremes Silver Gold.In a month he'll receive the Supremes Silver Oil,so I'm a bit confused about which will best suit my needs.Is the extra cost of the latter two worth for this system?Which would you choose in my place?
I listen mostly jazz at moderate levels in a small/medium room with monitors 92 db efficient.
Thanks in advance for your help

The walk all over the Vcaps is the quote from the Vcap dealer that installed my Mundorfs. But, I'm sure you have much more knowledge on the subject.
Also the choice of hi-end companies at the 2007 RMAF. But I'm only quotig them.

I had the Auricaps in the output stages of my Exemplar 2900 CD player and deHavilland Mercury II preamp replaced with Mundorf Silver/Oil caps. The results have been stunning. I bought them from Sonicraft. I wanted to try the V-Cap TFT caps, but they are just to expensive. Enjoy!

TFTF V-Caps are the best I have heard, but they are very very costly. I think the V-Caps will cost more than your AV-8s. Chris has released some 300v rated caps which are more affordable, but cheap they are not

If cost is a factor, Mundorf Silver and oil is good value for your money with very good performance - good value in the lala land of audiophiles of course :-)

Magnum, did you not like your Dynamicaps? I seem to be the only person on the BB that likes Dynamicaps.

Dpac996, what was the brand of caps in your BAT before you upgraded to Mundorf's?
