I replaced some crossover caps in a
speaker system with 'Wondercaps' of the same value once
and speakers immediately sounded cleaner, more
transparent. better".


What were the origional caps like? NP electrolytics or film caps?



They were those yellow Mylar caps. You know, the ones that aren't
cylindrical, but look as if someone had stepped on one? The speakers were a
set of Magnaplanar Tympani 3Cs. The ones with EIGHT panels: 2 tweeter panels,
two midrange panels and four bass panels. At the time, they were Magnepan's
top of the line speakers.
