RE: Or another conclusion!...

Interesting observation. I own two sets of the SCM19's, so I have been able to compare the stock sound vs. the updated crossovers.

The overall tonal balance between the two seems to remain very similar. The bass on the updated crossover seems slightly fuller. Where the differences are noted is primarily one of increased clarity across the entire spectrum. Vocals and stringed instruments sound closer to a live source. The treble is where the most improvement is noted.

My take regarding the difference is that the Mills non-inductive resistors may have more to do with the clarity than the caps. Some years ago, had a vintage Threshold which was re-done with Mills emitter resistors. That made a marked difference in playback.
