Looking to upgrade tweeter capacitors
willing to spend a decent amount if rewards are guaranteed
Suggestions please?
using neodymium tweeters of high quality
Thank you

Rewards can be gurenteed , How are u going run it...is it A hand built crossover..do you have the ground coil..1st order yeilds most results with expensive caps...tops is audyn pure copper....and not really needed in 2nd and 3rd order arrangements.
Make absolutely sure you know the value you want right ....pure copper is $60 to 80 ....next down go theta ppt $20 to 30...
I would say that any non-magnetic lead PP film foil capacitor would sound better compared to the other cheaper metalized foil types. Audyn caps are good, but so are many of the other similarly built caps. Personally I like PIO in series with a high efficiency tweeter, but its more of a matter of the combination of parts that contribute to the outcome as to how well they complement each other, so there isn't just one "best" capacitor for tweeter crossover duty.
check this driver , with cheap caps to make sure it can handle the job..1st order can even tricky for a minute , not knowing your expertise
Running a full range alnico with one cap per tweeter in an ambient configuration

so the answer is no it is not

Ok sir , you got all my experience...this may be to simple , anyway I found out that the perfect value difference be small as .10 so nail it down before making the perchase.
sometimes the cap you want .my not available in the correct farad...and that matters more than the model...
just in case someone on the page is just beginning.... sometimes a good cap can be added to with cheap caps...at .10 increments....with minimal loss in sound quality...get as close as possible going under if the choice is between two
Try and get some Mica film and polystyrene film cap .
They r as exotic as unicorn nowdays. But let me tell you this go get some real cheep capacitor and compare with some audiophile cap. First check the cap value is correct with a cheap multimeter with capacitance measuring capability n just test it using only tweeter with all the different the cap . Maybe I am tone deaf but I cannot even tell the difference between them....of course I used new reasonable quality caps . Lastly U can use them in parallel to reach whatever value u need..and enjoy the incredible improvement in sound as describe by some .
