Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC

Hi Everyone,

Need to build a new crossover for my Tannoy Monitor Red. My first choice for inductor is Mundorf Copper Air , M-Coil CFC. But it don't have the value I need and so I have to ask Mundorf to custom made it for a price. Then I found the Jantzen Copper Wax Coil, which looks fancy and cheaper. However, Can't find any review online. 

I am wondering if anyone has experience with these coil and which is better? 

thanks
Vic

Must be a tad tricky soldering foil type conductors to those mini usb solder tabs!

@grannyring My dac doesn’t use the Power and Ground connectors.

It was hard at first, but I have gotten very good at it :) The trick is in the fold at the very ends.   

I use 16 gauge Mundorf foil for my cables. 17mm wide.

And yes, they sound incredible.

Are Jantzen Wax Coil inductors the best solution for mid-bass crossover?

How do they compared to Solen Hepta Litz Inductors?

How do they compared to vintage iron core inductors?

Better in every way. 

Iron cores should never be used in any speakers you care to keep around.

 

The foils are better than the litz in resolution, dynamics, speed, clarity, timbre to name just a few things.

Iron core inductors are best for the woofers due to the lower dc resistance. Airs for the high-end.
