Best resistors for crossover tweak

Posted by mingles on August 21, 2007 at 18:21:13:
I've upgraded the capacitors in my crossover. Speakers are Alon Model II. The stock Solen caps have been replaced with Dynamicaps for the tweeter, KimberKaps for the midrange and Sonicaps in the midrange Zobel/shunt. See link below for schematic.

The stock Colber resistors are still in place. They're 3 and 5 watt. I'm interested in replacing two of them that are in the signal path: the 4 ohm going to the tweeter and the 3 ohm going to the midrange. Mills MRA-12 would be an easy choice, but I'd like to experiment with something like Caddock. This may prove to be a meaningless upgrade, but the cost is less than $30.

I've heard good things about Caddock, but which version are people using? Power Film (MS223)? MP-930? Any other brands I should consider?

thanks!
