Satie, yes, the Daytons are mostly good. I tried some variants. This was during the initil months of scoping my MMGs before going to the planned line-level xover, right after I bought them used.
There was one exception. I could never like the "Dayton Audio Precision 1% Metallized Polypropylene Capacitors". Oh, brother, I tried every which way, including tons of break-in time and other types of speakers. Then I gave them to a friend, without telling him. He later jokingly thanked me for "dumping them" on him.
BTW, in those early days, there was a major surprise. Every single Solen (and other) caps removed from old Maggies, including my own, were right on the money as far a value. With mine, at first, I thought something was wrong with my meter. The 6 caps (2x25uF and 4 x 12uF) showed no variance after almost a decade of use by the previous owner.
