By the way I have a pair of 1.0 uF Clarity CAP MR's in excellent shape left over from a project if anybody needs them for a good price. Probably less than 50% for the pair shipped, email me if interested.

Reynolds853Not to throw a monkey in the wrench or is it the other way around? But, I will say this the Jupiter new beeswax "HT" cap is REALLY killer. And I have used this in electronics now as a coupling cap not speakers, it is virtually equal to ...

Your saying you have Duelunds on the Tweeters already? If so leave them, when I say 100% one or the other I mean don't mix 2 caps on one Driver, so just go Clarity MR's on the Mids and Woofs then just fine and leave the single Duelund cap on the T...

I can tell you this, I have had the experience of the 8 gauge north creeks vs. the Alpha core / which are probably more or less identical to the Mundorf copper foils. The 8 gauge could have a litte more punch, however the Copper foils can be a lit...

By the way you plan to run outboard crossovers I assume? Plan for some VERY large outboards if you plan to use the 8 gauge inductors, the ones I have are the size of a Car battery each!

Well it is pretty obvious that all combos above would be in the upper echelon of possible crossover choices. I don't see anything wrong with the experiment, but again it all comes down to the total package and sound, and that can vary from design ...

Reynolds853,I have a pair of North creek 8 gauge inductors left over from a project, yes an expensive left over! If your interested they are 1.5 mH, if these are too big you can have them sent for a small fee back to north creek and wound down to ...

Here you go... This is the company I could not think of, Duelund and Mundorf mixed on this one, for a cool 155,000!At least at this price you no matter what get something beyond auricaps or solens!http://www.tidal-audio.de/english/startenglishprod...

VolleyguyWell I have seen many which use Rel, Solen etc... Those white body caps in Wilson are likely Rel, probably 5 bucks a cap on some of them, Rel cap last I know was based in California, make several OEM caps under several names, like the Aud...

Theaudiotweak,Honestly, I don't think every speaker has the exact best value for their speaker... Many times I am sure they take the closest thing, and or plus minus up to 10%... And unless its a REALLY pricey speaker probably even in the 10,000 a...

Theaudiotweak,Honestly I don't know if there is a specific "Golden Ratio" so to speak.However, I ended up with a 1 uF Clarity MR bypassed by a .1 uF Silver oil... So I guess a 90% to 10% worked well here, but keep in mind I also was low on my valu...

To clarify, I hate bypassing anything as stated above as well, but the MR - Silver OIL combo works very well, it gels nicely, no dual cap separated sound. And again this was simply pointed out in this "Specific case" for a cost effective way to hi...

Honestly very close. The Duelunds have a very organic bottom end in full range production, the MR is very tight and powerful. It will come down to system synergy. No doubt if your more into tube sounding bass that the duelund will be more like tha...

So I might be wasting my time here, I will try to collapse my own experimenting over the last yearÂ… However, due to the length of this thread I will get to the point for anybody trying to decipher what works best from the beginning in my opinion n...
