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

My personal preference is for the Silver Oil, but I have seen a folks who prefer the Silver Gold.

I don't think you will be making a mistake either way. Just be sure you have enough space, the Mundorf caps are a bit bigger than average (I use the term average loosely)

Another cap I like that is less expensive and a little smaller than the Mundorf is Dynamicap.

TFTF V-Caps are the best I have heard, but they are very very costly. I think the V-Caps will cost more than your AV-8s. Chris has released some 300v rated caps which are more affordable, but cheap they are not

If cost is a factor, Mundorf Silver and oil is good value for your money with very good performance - good value in the lala land of audiophiles of course :-)

Magnum, did you not like your Dynamicaps? I seem to be the only person on the BB that likes Dynamicaps.
