In the Thread: Additive capacitance: mixing oils and films?
Post Subject: Mix, match & settlePosted by Paul S on: 6/27/2007
Dan, it is funny that the Hovland is one of only a few caps I have specifically ruled out for crossovers.
I do not like but merely settle for black Solens for larger values, mostly because I just don't like to solder together great wads of smaller values.
I like the expensive Mundorfs OK for some things, but have never liked the oilers for crossovers because their sound seems to change around in that application.
OTOH, if you mix oilers and film caps in a speaker crossover then your experience of this willl be new to me.
I like to use as low a voltage as I can get away with for pretty much everything; it's just hard sometimes to find exactly what I'm looking for with respect to both capacitance value and voltage rating.
Perhaps you will pony up and try some Duelund coppers, let us know what you think...
Best regards,
