Replacing caps on crossovers?


Has anyone tried upgrading caps on their crossovers? Curious if they experienced any issues with changing the voicing of the speakers in a negative way? Thinking the speakers might be voiced based on lower quality components.

@musichead   my opinion , sorry, is waisting the time. Is almost impossible get change the sound by  changing capacitor.
try to change the driver or whole speaker
I would definitely change those Solen caps and sand resistors, you would get a more refined sound and clean up that nasal sound solen caps have.
@musichead 

If you can get a schematic of your crossover,  I'll offer some guidance of which parts to replace.  
Musichead. If the speakers are working properly there is little to gain


Hi @Mijostyn : Can you tell me how many times you’ve tried this and what parts you used to come to this conclusion?


Is this book learning, or have you actually experimented?

Because I have the latter, and I conclude you are mistaken.


Thanks,


Erik
OP:

What you should do is gain some practical experience, cheaply!

My recommendation for inexpensive experiments are Mundorf MKP and Clarity CSA caps.

Should run you about $20 for a pair of caps. Gain knowledge for yourself. If you can't hear a difference, you will learn there's nothing to gain for you.

Best,
