Tom,
I can't speak for Andy but I can say what I heard when I tried the Caddock MP caps in my speaker crossovers (at your suggestion). To my ears, the Caddocks added an artificial sheen to the upper midrange and low treble, and they were too lean in the lower midrange/upper bass, i.e. they removed warmth. They weren't offensive but they were also not a contender in my opinion. That said, there is no denying they are a good value considering the very reasonable price.

Sorry if I steered you in the wrong direction. Maybe my old ears/system are/is not as sensitive to an upper range sheen or perhaps I even appreciate compensation for some hearing loss. At least you can say you tried them.I am not ready to shell out for AN silver tants, although I bought a pair of their new non-mag regular tants to use in my active xovers. I have recently gotten new midrange drivers and I'm about to build the newly designed passive crossovers. I've already purchased Caddocks, but I'm willing to try others. I thought Mills were pretty blah and the Duelund's were too bright. I actually liked the cheaper Mundorf MOX. I have never tried the expensive Mundorf's. I think their caps, although very detailed and open, tilt the FR upward to hi-fi levels, almost as you describe the Caddock. I use their SIO for tweeter caps.
Peace,
Tom E

Tom, I don't regret trying the Caddocks so don't have any concerns about "steering" me in their direction. One of the great things about these forums is being able to hear of other persons' experiences and perspectives. We all learn from each other.
