I'm going to order a pair of Erse inductors:

and a pair of capacitors to replace the parts in my MMG crossover. I'm about to move and I don't have time to experiment with different caps so I'm hoping to just pick the best candidate and put the upgraded MMG's in storage until I get settled. I've been recommended the Daytons:

and the Jantzens:

Is there a clear winner between these? Is there another cap I should choose instead? I could spend up to $50 per cap I suppose. I'm looking for the most neutral sound.

No 12uF Obbligato Caps? - ggking7 12:24:43 02/24/12 (1)

You can parallel a 10 mfd and 2mfd (nt) - neolith 13:51:37 02/24/12 (0)
