Hi Irish65,
Actually the combination makes sense to me.It seems the speaker designer wants to voice his cabinet(similar to say Ocellia or Tonian Lab approach).The choice of various wood(spruce or cedar) and its generous use indicates this is what they want to be heard. You`d want no competing(interference) resonant signature from your capacitor to mess things up with this carfully planned cabinet construction. If that`s the case then the CAST would be ideal as it would have minimal interfering resonance and be near inert in character(remain natural).The chosen tonewood is then allowed to be 'heard' as intended.My guess anyway.I have the copper CAST capacitors in my speaker crossover and also in my Yamamoto DAC. The undeniable sonic character that improved was even a more natural-organic presentation.The sound simply became more life-like real and emotionally involving.The tonal reproduction of human voice and acoustic instruments is breathtaking.Prior to the CAST installation it was merely "very good".I imagine this designer did extensive listening to many different capacitors and realized the CAST was better than the rest.He probably did the same for wire selection(silver would be my top option also).I`d guess this speaker sounds really good.
Regards,
