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

Would have to agree with Pauly. The Mundorfs are are very good caps, if not the best.
Have been replacing all my Auricaps with Mundorf Golds or Silver. The Mundorf Supreme is about comparable to the Auricaps. Have replaced all my Dynamicaps with Mundorfs also. They can be a little zippy in some cases.
Replaced the caps in my Modwright pre with Mundorfs and they walked all over the Vcaps they replaced.
The Mundorf Gold is a good step up from the Siver if the quality of the equiptment is high. As Pauly said before, some of the Mundorfs are large and some Golds are huge.
A good source is Soniccraft which will also give you the measurements to determine if they will fit.
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.
Paul,
The Dynamicaps and Hovalands are both a little zippy for me. The Auricaps are a little cleaner and more neutral.
Then there is Mundorf- cleaner, clearer and more detail without the zip.
Installed Mundorfs in my Modwright pre. Had a dealer install the Mundorfs instead of the Vcaps he sells. He said the Mundorfs were far cleaner and more detailed than his Vcaps.
Heard about the Mundorfs at the RMAF while listening to manufacurers discussing caps.
