is very likely to be lower than the original capacitor. This would cause the tweeter level to be up a bit, and BRIGHT!
If there's a series resistor in the high-pass section , up its value a bit.
And I'd look at paralleling capacitors of descending value to make up the original total value.
Eg. a MF polycarbonate, then a MF polyprop, and then a teflon.
Might be cheaper, too.

- I'd try out adding a small amount of R in parallel with the new capacitor as its equivalent series resistance - Timbo in Oz 16:18:42 02/05/17 (3)

- Thanks for the response. Yes, they are wirewound resistors. nt - alaskahiatt 21:30:56 02/05/17 (0)
