Re: compared to?

1st, I should mention that I raised the high frequency XO up an octave as I didn't like the 1kHz-2kHz electrical bandpass. That Q could screw up any sound whatever the components used. So, it's now around 4kHz now. You see the original stock cap was a 20uF cap. I had wired some midfi Dayton film&foils I had around to test the values & perceive repercussions if any. Clearly these OEM Bennic caps are not in RTX's league. However, I hope to get a sense of these caps sonically with the Jupiter used in the midrange. The midrange is beginning to bloom now as it continues to break-in. I don't think the tweeter ever will, but the cymbal transients sound more natural now. OTOH, I don't know if I want the tweeter to bloom. OTOH, when I'm done I hope to make it sound more authentic like acoustic instruments. I have yet to hear blooming treble frequencies in an acoustic setting.
