In Reply to: RE: Someone did upgrades to their CLXs over on DIY audio however posted by Michael Samra on September 11, 2016 at 17:21:43
changing out a few caps but many of these caps aren't even in the signal path so why spend a 1000 dollars on these caps when you can achieve the same or better results no doubt looking elsewhere
It sure seems that the four Solens caps valued at $30 are indeed involved in the crossover signal path. What other function would they hold?

Read again what I had written..
Some I agree with,others I don't.I understand the hard wiring the connectors and changing out a few caps and those would be the ones in the audio path..Many of the ones he changed were in the bias supply and bleed down and those do not have to be changed being there is no sonic benefit in that..I get it about better connectors and the caps in the audio path and hardwiring but you don't need 1000 dollars worth of caps because in the mids and highs of the CLX there are no caps.It's directly driven on that panel..The bass panel does have caps tho.

The DIY Audio posts don't seem to support your assertion that the four caps are only used with the woofer. Four sets of caps for low pass duty?Perhaps you might read post #6 here.
"The crossover is all contained in 2 pc boards held together with long standoffs - One board is the low pass filter and the other the high pass circuit ...
The high pass filter is a multipole with capacitors, inductors, and planar resistors. While it was possible to upgrade the capacitors from metalized film to film and foil types..."
You can find a schematic in post # 34.
