BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.


Dear friends:I really need your helpwith first hand experiences with speaker crossover capacitors founded in next main experiences/tested premises: for a 3-way speaker design, high resolution audio systems, very low distortion audio systems, wide systems frequency range, " zero trade-offs ".

I know that the best capacitor is NO-capacitor, well I need your near to that full experiences with another desired premises from you: audio systems using SS electronics and mainly listening MUSIC through digital sources.

All your opinions/help are appreciated.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

Dear @cal3713  : I tested the Wima in parallel and series way  ( due that I have not the values for a single cap that I will order. ).

For reasons I have not explanations in the ban-pass filter works better in parallel and in the tweeter in series. Both cases/ways with two caps on each fashion. and that's what I'm listen.

Now are so cheap that we can try all configuration ways for evaluations.

I may try. You sparked my interest, I found a supplier, he's emailing me availability on mkp 10, there hard to find in USA. Only from what I googled wima may be tipped up/ cleaner from Alumen z. I find the z more on the warm side of the CRM. This may be why you like the wima. The CRM is more neutral than Z for me, I find CMR/Z combine well together. Funny you mentioned tambourines the CMR reproduces that cheap tin metal sound very well and sometimes I use tambourines to judge a cap, tambourine is hard to do correct. Playing drums since a little kid I have problem buying hand hammered Turkish ride cymbals and metal snare drums and also use that to judge caps. Metal snares aren't muddy like a wooden snare. The CMR is good at that but it's not perfect but I find it neutral and fairly true to live music. The Duelund silver bypass goes well with it. One of the best things I found to reproduce that metal crunch sound is a DIY 6 gauge solid core silver wire with neodymium magnets with the RCA center pin punched out and silver wire is connected directly from amp to Preamp with no interference, copper or aluminum braid is return. It does slightly roll of highs but I fix that with a acoustic zen ref 2. 

Dear @paulcreed  : """  I find the z more on the warm side of the CRM. This may be why you like the wima. ... """


sorry but that " warm " makes no " click " for me at this moment because if the Z was on the warm side of the Wima then why more ears " fatigue " at high SPL with the Z than with the  Wima and why the sibilants disappears with the Wima if like you say is tipped up? Cleaner yes but not exactly tipped up.

I think that next week I will receive what I need for the midrange drivers and we will see what happens.
