Mundorf versus Audyn capacitors

[Naimare]

Hi:waver:,

Thinking of adding 2.2mF polypropylene capacitors in the HF part of my 604 crossover.

Based on search on the net, Mundorf Surpreme and AudynCap Plus come up as two credible alternatives.

Have anyone any comments on these in terms of what type of "flavor" (if any) they add on the sound. I'm looking for additional speed, "upfrontness" and clarity compared to the oil caps I'm currently using.

Would an alternative be to use smaller F values of above caps in a by-pass configuration?

In my Avantgarde Trios there?s 2x 2,2?F in series with the midrangedriver and the original cap was the Audyn tin foil
I first replaced it with M-Cap Supreme same value and it increased resolution and attack,but it was overly analytical acc. to my taste.
Next I replaced the std Supreme with the M-Cap Silver in Oil same value and all fell into place: resolution,speed,tone and harmonics....the lot
Have tried it in many different applications with consistant results
It has replaced Audio Note silverfoil,teflon caps etc
Highly recommended
