RE: I've listened to the AR2ax speakers with old caps and now with new caps

On the 4uf and 6uf caps used in the crossover,did you use an oil cap for the 6uf by chance? It sounds as tho your bass is satisfying and parts of the mids are also so I would use an oil cap for the 6uf that goes to the tweeter.The basically brings the speaker into the room. Paper in oil would be best but even a mundorf would be good there.Also,if you just rebuilt the speakers,you need to give the speakers 100 hours or more to break in the caps. Remember,there is no DC on the dielectric of the caps to assist with breakin.
