Which caps for crossover - studio monitors?

[Lojzek]

Keep dreaming, hugo stiglitz. Your higher grade caps are no match for mine, yet to be developed by an unknown master audiophile.

Do you have a crossover schematic? I've been very happy changing the resistor L-pad to attenuate the tweeter in my speakers for autoformers.

Hello again kaputt! Which autoformer do you use for L5 & L6 on your Altec 604 compression driver? Is it an off the shelf item or custom wound?

Are you refering to the crossover schematic I posted in another thread? L5 and L6 are one autoformer, in Spice you need to turn that into two inductors. They are custom wound by Dave Slagle.

Yes, that's what I was inquiring about. Thanks for the info.

Trying to reply to the OP's original question, I've been using Jantzen Superior Z-caps for the mid-highs in my main system and I am satisfied with what I hear.

Having said that, I'd also be curious to try the new Jantzen Alumen Z-caps...

In case you are interested, I use the Fostex R-100T to attenuate the compression driver in my main system, and I find it utterly transparent.
