Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Should caps be updated on Super Zeroes

Electrolytics can dry out over time and shift in value, altering the frequency response of the speaker. They should be replaced with decent poly film types (Dayton, Jantzen, Solen, Bennic, or whatever), but there is dubious benefit to using ultra-expensive boutique caps in "budget" speakers like the Super Zeroes.

Ditto on the resistors. Any decent resistors with 5% or better tolerance and higher rated power handling than the originals should be fine. Eagle, Mills, Lynk are all good, and reasonably priced.
