JAM by Duelund

Dear friends: I'm looking for advise on caps  for speaker's crossover. 

I use or used V-caps ( not the Teflon ones. ) and Sonic Craft by-passed with Teflon V-caps.

In my all SS electronics I'm using Teflon V-caps and Teflon Cu V-caps and Sonic Craft Platinum too. All these works great.

Due that Teflon V-caps are expensive and that I need 16.8uf and 4.7uf plus 100uf I would like to know which one could be the best combination for a lower price and with quality performance nearer to the Teflon V-caps.

Your advice is appreciated. Thank's in advance.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

Love to help, but need more info. Please tell us the speaker in question and what you want to gain from the upgrade? What sound quality attributes are you wanting more of or less of? Thanks!

Dear @grannyring : My overall audio system/room target is to stay nearer/truer to the recording and my reference is live music but I’m far away from live music.

My speakers are a pair of old heavy tweaked ADS L2030 ( Silk dome tweeter/midrange and paper woofer. ) paired with two self powered Velodyne HGS-15 subwoofers wired in true stereo fashion. Crossover at around 80hz . The ADS crossover filter is made it directly at the 20.6 amps input due that these amps are coupled by input cap and here is where I’m using Teflon Cu V-caps along Vishay naked resistors.

I’m satisfied with what I have but you know I think that I can have even better quality level performance if I invest in better caps in the speakers crossover where everything is hard wired and seats externally to the speakers. I use pure silver ribbon inductors .

I’m not looking for a very specific atribute but " only " that puts me nearer to the recording.

Even that my system is full SS electronics does not sounds as traditional SS electronics none as tubes but more as music, recorded music with neutral tone and rhiytm along that " power/dynamics " that only live music can has. Truly emotional.

Dear @grannyring : Do you need additional information for I can get your expert advise?

Because I'm not a whealty person I can't go with Duelund or teflon V-caps but to something else you already know works really fine in that speaker crossover aplication.

I really don’t know that speaker at all.  Looked st some online stuff on them, but not much available.  Did you already mod them? Placed the crossover outboard?
