Which Mundorf for my tubes?

Got a pair of Antique Sound Wave AV-8 monoblocks to build an entry level tube set.Nice sound for the price.
I'm trying now to change caps to improve them,and decided to try Mundorf as Auricaps are not availiable here in Argentine.
A dealer has in stock the Supremes and the Supremes Silver Gold.In a month he'll receive the Supremes Silver Oil,so I'm a bit confused about which will best suit my needs.Is the extra cost of the latter two worth for this system?Which would you choose in my place?
I listen mostly jazz at moderate levels in a small/medium room with monitors 92 db efficient.
Thanks in advance for your help

Walk all over V-caps?
Give me a break.

An often overlooked cap is the Mundorf ZN "improved version". One of the more neutral caps on the market.

Just put Mundorf MCap Supreme Silver/Oil in my BAT VK5i, and let me tell you, they floored me. Not fully broken in, but they allow such an open urestrictive view into the music I could hardly believe it was possible. Insert all your favorite audiophile terms, the preamp flat out sings. They really are "juicy"

The walk all over the Vcaps is the quote from the Vcap dealer that installed my Mundorfs. But, I'm sure you have much more knowledge on the subject.
Also the choice of hi-end companies at the 2007 RMAF. But I'm only quotig them.

I had the Auricaps in the output stages of my Exemplar 2900 CD player and deHavilland Mercury II preamp replaced with Mundorf Silver/Oil caps. The results have been stunning. I bought them from Sonicraft. I wanted to try the V-Cap TFT caps, but they are just to expensive. Enjoy!
