A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components.

so called engineers saying a resistor is a resistor

at DC they are... some with many parameters that vary with ambient conditions

What many enthusiasts don't understand is a change for better in one instance may not be in another.

And even worse, many equate change with improvement when it clearly is not... 🙄

Yes x 2.

Like every other component, C & R have interaction with everything else.

You can install "THE BEST" of everything and have an unlistenable system.

A slightly veiled cap maybe just the ticket with a screeching tweeter

5x is standard mfg markup. $300 wholesale is $1500+ retail.

Sky's the limit for 'high end'

@bdp24 It's a cupla decades since I was a manufacturer... of pro audio gear.

Surprisingly, replacing Mylars with Polypropylene or Teflon [$$$] can have more effect on the sonic signature than electrolytics.

AND if your crossovers are matched or selected per drivers, be sure to match the replacement parts to the same values.

... and ZERO description of rigor to ascertain identical listening conditions.
