RE: Dayton or Jantzen cap for MMG crossover?

Use the precisions from dayton and save your money. If they do turn out too harsh in your setop then you can bypass them with these:

Or smaller values, you need less than 5% of the total capacitance to get most of the benefit. So it will not alter the XO substantially.

I found these to smooth out rough sounding metalized polyprop caps (like the precisions) and to sweeten the perceived FR, despite there being no difference in FR measurements. Still a head scratcher for me, but the audible effect is obvious. Nothing subtle at all.
