So Mikey, what about vintage PIO's for crossovers? I was hoping to get your input about their sound qualities? I have a ton of Sprague and other USA caps from Ramon and some Russian PIO's in larger values. I think a lot of folks could appreciate your input on speakers! Thanks in advance. Chuck

Just about every Wharfedale W series owner that used the SuperTweeter who has replaced the caps will admit if the cap is other than an oil and especially an older pcb based one, the tweeter will suck big time. These tweeters are cone style.

I haven't replaced mine but I believe you. My W90's sound fine!

For horns,there is nothing better than a good paper in oil cap because they are very linear at higher frequencies and they tend to smooth out any slight harshness.
