Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them?
Finished the bass board upgrade and again I am happy with the results. Nothing like upgrading the mid/treble board to be sure in terms of total improvement, but a nice little improvement in bass resolution or articulation. Very slight. If someone ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Cleaning the fuse holder and fuse ends is a great idea. No doubt. Remember however,  no matter how well you clean a lower quality fuse it will never sound as good a a top quality fuse. You can clean that Radio Shack wire and connector for hours, b... 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them?
I now think the tweeter and mid board is fully burned in and the end result is spectacular to be sure. I plan on upgrading the binding posts in the future as the final step in the transformation of this great speaker. A great design that is beggin...

Modest upgrade from Acoustic Zen Adagios?
Upgrade your crossover parts and enjoy what you like about this speaker, but a whole lot better. No kidding. I did with the Crescendos. Amazing improvement.  
The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ??
The difference between Duelund CAST and Jupiter copper is this. I have used both in crossovers, tube amps, preamps, hybrid amps and dacs so I think I have had good experience with them both. You must let them break in for at least 150 hours to kno... 
The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ??
I would agree with all that has been said regarding great choices. I like the Jupiter copper foil in wax caps quite a lot. Jupiter and Duelund make their own caps in house and both sound just fanastic.  
Anyone know what these are
 Yes there are electrolytic caps. Low pass passive crossover in my estimation. 
A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker?

A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker?
