Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Gotta Be Careful .....

Caps have different ESR, and sometimes this was taken into account in the crossover filter design.
Thus, a better cap will not always sound better.
I have drastically improved some speakers using better caps, and I have also ruined some too.

TRY and save the old caps, in case the new ones do not work out.
Or, keep trying new ones until you find some that do.

For a cheap cap, I have had luck with Bennic Polyproplyne's, and like them better generally then Solens.

Auricaps are a step up, and then Mundorf and Jensen, and wonder caps.

Have fun!
