Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM

Has anyone experience from using these capacitors in Merlin speakers.
I have a smaller room perfectly sized for my Merlin VSM-MX.
I just love them and wonder if they could be improved.
I use tube throughout system apart from Meridian CD player.

Many Thanks!

Clabe, I agree with Bobby on the Mundorf sound. I've tried the Mundorf Silver oils in various places in my system, thin out mids and brighten highs. I've heard the Mundorf golds are a bit better in mids. I will only use Mundorfs as replacements in my Merlins. I should have my Duelund copper foils in tweeter position in the next week or so. Next to Duelunds, Hovlands sound best in Merlins IMO.

Hi Guys!
I have now installed Mundorf S/O for midrange/bass in x-over, i.e. x-over is complete with S/O and Duelund resistors. 10 hours later sound is hard/edgy and a cold in upper midrange. Bass somewhat indistinct/blurry but powerful. I´ll be back with opinion in some weeks.

Many Thanks!

Hi Guys!
After listening more than 400 hours on Mundorf S/O caps for midrange/bass it wasn´t until yesterday I noticed big improvement. I´m shure peak hasn´t been reached yet, based on fact that S/O for treble also has improved past days. The "trebles" I´ve had for more than 800 hours.
What can I say but I´ll be back.

Many Thanks!
