Best Capacitors for Crossovers

I am now in the tweaking stage of trying different caps in my crossovers for my DIY homemade 2 way. I presently have and will soon try a 5.6uf 800 vdc +/- 2% Jantzen Audio Silver Z-cap.

I see that Mundorf, V Cap get a lot of accolades, and the Dueland are quite pricey.

Does anyone have a favorite?

I am trying to cross over at about 4500HZ at 6db.

Hi,

Newbie here.

From gammag:
"In my opinion it appears that caps do make a difference in the tweeter section, I wonder if the high end coils also make a noticeable difference in sound quality in the mid-bass/midrange area?"

I wonder the same.

What do you guys think?

Hello,

We know that capacitors make an important difference in the tweeter section.

What about the bass section? Would the impact be the same? Should I invest in a high quality capacitor for the mid-bass section?
