Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade?

Duelund CAST silver Capicitor upgrade 50K??
I've ordered some speakers and asked about upgrading to Deulund's silver foil CAST capacitor and inductor a listed option on my speaker. dc10audio got back to me with 50K $50,000.00 dollars extra over the copper that's already included in my speaker!!

How the hell is that even possible?? And if I could and I can't afford the extra would it be worth it? Am I going to see Jesus with the silver or what?

It makes one appreciate the tremendous value of the CAST copper foil product being how copper CAST is without peer.

The Duelund CAST silver is extraordinarily expensive and the only advantage to me over the CAST pure copper is that you can tell people that your capacitors cost more than their mid-line car which might be fun at parties..Not!

Bypass?
We are talking about state-of-the-art crossover components so you bypass with what?

The silver CAST is a price is NO object option and for some that's the option they choose. If your amplifiers cost 250K+ per pair the silver CAST might make sense.

Note: The 20mF caps are huge and some of the largest Duelund has ever made in silver.

It does not change the basic sonics or physics of the speaker.

The Duelund CAST copper and the Jupiter stacked beeswax paper caps are all so natural sounding the only benefit might be cerebral..However; We have not actually done blind tests in our loudspeakers comparing copper CAST vs the silver CAST if we did perhaps we would find the silver slightly more detailed.

Fredrick at Duelund seems to think this is the case.
