Hello! Wondering if anyone has updated their passive crossover with the Clarity Cap CMR. I'd like to hear how they compare to the MR and comparable competition. I saw some threads on the MR but not these.
That is up to you. Magico and B&W are big fans. I don’t think people
realize at the top end of these ranges how much you are listening to
the caps instead of the speaker drivers. It’s a big deal.
I think it has some features which move the CMR more in that direction, yes.
But that is very general. I don't hear the over-saturation, over colorful treble. It is cooler/brighter. For a while it also sounded grainy, I hope that goes away soon. :)
I havd been molding caps and Xover parts for almost 20 years now. I just replaced thd Mundorf supreme for the by mids . Thd new CMŔ are much Cleaner then the Mundoff supreme, even with a .1 Mundorf Silver oil.they are rated have over 160 hours I on them they have and they are Noticably better then what I knew with old Mr caps. These caps are special very nice baLance. These caps present thd performance which us as good as Jupiter's best or Mundorf without bring too much as Good thjng. These CMR caps rate at Least a 12+ in my system much less $ than the top names but not in performsnce.
What does seem to be consistent in my current listening trials is the CMR breathes a lot better than the MR.
I know it's a weird thing to say, but if you have heard GOOD high efficiency speakers you'll have an idea of what I mean. The top end just sounds like it was slightly congested before and now has completely opened up.
Hopefully this quality lasts through the break-in. :)
