This thread is awesome. I too know crossover caps can make a big difference. I personally feel they have enough of an influence or sway power to ‘make or break’ a system. I second @erik_squires observation with the mundorf capacitors and I too prefer the mundorf m-cap classic MKP or the mundorf m-cap evo oil. I read good things about clarity cap. I’ve had good experiences with audyn plus mkp capacitors.
A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components.
The commentator stated something to the effect that some very high end speakers really cheaped out on the capacitors and resistors in their crossovers, and hinted that replacing them with high quality components might improve the sound quality of the speakers. My question is "Have you ever replaced the caps and resistors in your speakers crossovers, and to your ears did that result in better sound quality?" Also, what brands of caps and resistors do you consider to be "the best", and why?

@emergingsoul yeah man me too. But what sucks is, if you get the opportunity to, more than likely they too are making even more of a profit off of you. I wish they could increase the quality of crossover components by for example $300 and charge me like $330 more. Not like $600, whereas before it would be $30 in crossover components and they charged me $60…. |
