wonder dynamicaps any good ?

hi, i have a pair of infinity kappa 9's and a couple of the solen caps went bad in both speakers, one emit and on the other speaker on a semit, i bought 8 new solen caps for all 6 tweeters but to me they sound kinda harsh, so i was just wondering if anyone has tried using the wonder dynamicaps as i have heard that they are pretty good sounding, if so how do you think they would sound in the kappa 9's being that they have ribbon tweeters, will there be any improvement over the solens?, if so what can i expect, thanks in advance.

For speakers I like the Mundorf caps. The Solen's are good budget caps, but you can do better. The best are the Dueland, but a bit pricey. Look some of the capacitor comparisons and get a little info there. Jallen

thanks for the info, i will check out some other brands also but i think i want to get caps that will be an improvement over the 22 year old ones that they used in the speakers, i want to get caps that sound good at a reasonable price without going overboard.

I had the dynamicaps for a while, they are ok not great. If i were you go for mundorf caps and go as far up the range as you can. The silver/gold in oil is a very good natural sounding cap but if they are too expensive try the silver in oil.

As Jallen says Duelund VSF copper caps are one of the finest but are very expensive. At a similar price to the dynamicap try the sonicap too which is very good but if you have very highend kit may sound a little hifi when compared to the Dueland and mundorf in oil types.

Look at the humble hifi cap test. Very useful.
