Andy, have you done any blind testing on this? It is very difficult to run tests like that without having exactly matched levels.
We are having a discussion on the sound of capacitors in a swedish forum right now, it is very similar. Not many have ran blind tests. In a controlled blind test things often show up differently...

Hope you have your flame-proof undies on. :-)) I have no idea which larger-value caps sound the best (that you use in passive XOs) but for coupling caps (1uF - 2uF) that I use in my 'Muse' phono stage, customer's input has shown:
* the best (that I have used) are Duelund RS400v Copper. Possibly a more expensive Duelund sounds better?
* then - in spite of being more expensive - Sonicap Platinum
* a long way behind ... AmpOhm PF-XAL-AL Paper-in-Oil Aluminium Foil.
Regards,
Andy
The new Jupiter Cu wax cas have captured the heart of my modster friend and have displaced the Sonicap Platinums. For value I can't find better than the Dayton tin foil caps from parts express.
Haven't tried the Jupiter Cu, Satie, but those Duelund ones I mentioned sound better than Sonicap Platinums, too. And they're cheaper!
