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,

Dear friends : This is where this link belongs and what all kind of electronics/speakers ask for and not the $$$$$ " wonderland " caps ( thank's pauly. ).
Please read why " ask for ":

I'm using the FKP 1 .

Dear friends :  The OP thread answer is:

the best Capacitor or Inductor in a crossover speakers is NO CAPACITOR/INDUCTOR. Please let me explain.

 

Even that I ask for help on the thread and gave characteristics of the crossover speakers and everything I did not took advises on the overall subject.

 

Things were and are that I decided to make a change in my external crossover and in specific at the corssover filter for the speaker woofers that crossover around 400hz and what I decided and did it is to take out the all silver ribbon ( 2.5kg. ) inductor along the Kemet capacitors down there.

So now both woofers at each speaker are hard wired directly to the monoblock amps and know what: this non-orthodox change makes an incredible/outstanding quality improvement into the whole room/system performance listening levels.

 

A major improvement. Yes, I'm way satisfied and I want to share here that before this last speaker changes around two months ago I made another change that when I did it I really did not thinking of any quality improvement in the room/system.

 

Due that my 20.6 ML amplifiers where builded 30+ years ago and even that in all these years the amps were running just fine I decided ( just for common sense. ) to change the power supply filter capacitors in each amp, these are 4 caps each amp ( 70K uf. ).

The originals were Sprague that today is out of the market, I think Vishay bougth it, and I find out exactly the same ones by Vishay ( these were the higher uf caps ) and the others I have no other choice to use Kemet.

Well, I said that I did not expected for any improvement but wrong I was because those capacitor changes in the amps made it a formidable an unexpected quality overall improvement. 

 

Yes, I always said that each single day is a learning one and my both changes experiences were and are a important and critical audio learning lessons to me.

And guess what: all thoseype electrolytic capacitors were ( original. ) and are " by-passed " by the industry standar and famous WIMA MKP-10's.

 

So figure, today top and expen$$ive audio electronics ( CH, Boulder, ML, D'Angostino, SimsAudio, Hegel,etc, etc. ) manufacturers/designers still as 30+ years ago use those great MKP-10 ! ! !   and for signal the FKP-1, god.
