RE: Speaker Crossover upgrades

Hi Rick,
I upgraded the crossovers in my Dali Grands close to 10 years ago, and I used Auricaps for bypass caps in the mid-tweeter section, and mid range Erse poly caps for the bass section. I also used Mills resistors to replace all the sand cast resistors on the board.I really like the Auricaps. I experienced a big jump in performance. The entire presentation from the speakers improved. Highs were more extended and cleaner, same for the mid range, but with more clarity and detail. In my silly opinion, getting rid of electrolytic caps for poly's in the bass made the most improvement. By tightening and cleaning up the lower octaves, just made everything better. Jantzen's are very highly regarded, but I have no experience with them to share.

Best of Luck,
JCarney
