RE: Does anyone use Teflon V-caps in their speaker crossover?

If you will go back and read some of the previous posts, you will find lots of feedback about using the fabulous V-Caps in loudspeaker crossovers. I personally use them as bypasses for the V-Cap Oil Impregnated Metalized Polypropylene (OIMP) capacitors in the crossover of my Meadowlark Audio Osprey speakers. They add extension, clarity, dynamics and musicality to these outstanding capacitors. They are expensive, and count on 300-400 hours before they reach most of their full potential, but they are worth the wait and the cost! Make sure to mount them in the proper orientation...the signal flows through them the same way as you read the label on the capacitor. Or, the green goes to ground (outside foil - or signal output), and the red lead is the input side (inside foil). I have tried most of the really high-end capacitors and the V-Caps come out on top in every category. You will not be disappointed in them...
