I'll be acquiring a couple of low value teflon caps (0.47 uF) for a phono stage upgrade. I understand that teflons can sound harsh at first and take quite a while to settle down. I'm thinking of hooking them up in series to my full range drivers and let them break in for a few weeks. Since the crossover point is very high for small value caps, this should not affect the speakers' performance. Anyone see any problem with this scenario. Cheers.
