can I use AN tantalum resistor in passive?

203.144.160.247

Can AN Tantalum resistor be used in pasive crossover? Or it should be non inductive wirewould i.e. Mills?
Thank you

I graduated from the rectangular "concrete" wirewounds to the Mills, and have never seen any reason since to look further. Very happy with the Mills.

You can use whatever your wallet tolerates :-) However in my experiences: Resistors, in a passive crossover, are very hard (impossible to me) to differentiate once past the basic entry level quality. (non inductive and of good tolerance)
Amp use is a whole different scenario, don't confuse the two.
Mills wirewounds inna passive are certainly 'V good' by anyone's yardstick.
