Johnny, you can get away with a smaller value capacitor, allowing you to afford a better variety. I use 0.16uF in my Charlizes with only a small roll-off in the bass. My speakers, however, have 4" woofers, if you can call them woofers, so don't reproduce anything below 60Hz, to be generous. If you have the space, purchase a quantity of Russian 0.1uF teflon capacitors from eBay. They have inductive windings, but are otherwise of top rate build, as they should be for military. Their measured performance (DA) is very good.

Tom, where did you get them?

A friend of mine got 8 pieces in a local Montreal stores a few years ago and I splite the lot with him. At the time, we were looking for caps for DIY project. I didn't do anything since then and I think I pay about $20cdn each(with tax). Are they any good?
