Initially I remembered them as being teflon but after a quick search I seen these are silver mica.
I still have some spare space on the crossover pcb so the entire night I kept thinking about these caps.

Silver MICAs are great, I use them in my xo too, for tweeter bypass. You may try difderent values to get the best sound, however.
I can try with 50nf or 100nf. This because I don’t have enough capacitors for more than that and I will alter also the crossover points by adding too much capacitance.
but type name is different

@schultzsch - you can try........... but - frankly - with 50nF, I'm expecting no difference
with 100nF, you'll rather hear difference in sum capacitance than anything else

Judging by the eye I said that I have room for 4pcs, 2 in parallel for each position.
Unfortunately there is room for only two pieces and these need to be stacked.
So I connected 50nf in each position.
The contacts were not soldering at all so had to disolder them and solder the wires directly to the cap terminals.
Like you say ZM there isn’t much to be noticed but I will leave them in for a while and then remove them to see if I notice something’s missing.
The clarity caps did make a difference, I am saying it again because today I went with gnfb and lower thd in the amp.
With the amp having gnfb the low level details are much better and also the location of the instruments is perceived easier.
It sounds a bit less warm but with better control on everything.
With gnfb the bass is a bit drier and more precise.
On music that is bass shy the difference is not so big but as soon as things complicate a bit of feedback can be good.
Its a good thing that I can change the front ends like I change the tracks. Makes this evaluation much easier.

Brute force will be needed the next month when I have to move the speakers to mount the crossovers, to route properly the wires and maybe try a different weight for the filling.
Its difficult to move these beasts around but big music needs big speakers.

Having a wood floor I use the coin support of the spikes to pull them from here to there, just to be able to do what I need to without scratching the floor.
If I install a small carpet under each it will be even easier.
Though a forklift like that is nice when you want to move them in another room.

Thanks. Not a formal arrangement or anything – ZM helped with the plans, I assembled the crossovers, and Bill was kind enough to build the cabinets. I'm just riding the coattails of people more talented than me 🙂
that's not enough porn, one lazy pic, even driverless
while having damn Plethora of other speaker Drek around
They’re 10” 2528’s. I used a crossover based on one ZM shared on DIYA several years ago. I’ll upload schematic when I get back to my computer.
