Which brands of capacitors and inductors are recommended for hi-fi loudspeaker designs keeping price and quality in mind. (If the diffrence in quality is worth it I'll most likely pay it.) Thanks in advance.

Hello Scott,

I would start by looking at the Solen website.

Look at the 'fast' capacitors and 'hepta-litz' inductors.

I find these parts to be quite good when hooked up in a point to point crossover and with quality wire.

Long break-in is necessary.

Cheers,

KevinLee🙂

By the way, solen caps are subject to a lot of discussion, some like them, others not at all, but if you dont want to pay 35USD for a single capacitor, they might be a good choice. There has been discussion on this forum about croosover components in a tread called " Audio Caps Rules" or something like that. Go read it

Good luck
