Thanks! I haven't added the 1.5 yet. Bruce had mentioned that to me but I neglected to add it to the list when I ordered the other supplies from Allied. Guess I could just use one from Radio Shack for the time being.

What is your impression of the difference with the 1.5? I'm assuming it gets the fostex more into the mid-range?

Dan,

I don't have the 1.5 cap. Bruce told me he found some NOS .5 uF that I could add to the 1 uF still waiting for them.

  Strongly suggest you use teflon V-caps on your tweeter. They made a huge improvement over the stock Mundorf silver/gold in my Omega DUOs.!
  yes, costly but worth every penny!
  Enjoy yopur new speakers!

    Just checked the price of 1.5 uF V caps, $480 for a pair. Are they worth $400 more than Mundorf Silver/oil?

      In my case I needed 2 x 3,3 uF and they were app. $ 900 more expensive than the silver gold.
      
      If you have excellent electronics and speakers, have taken care of the usual things like good isolation, dedicated lines,, room acoustic it is surely worthwhile.
      I thought the silver gold is as good as it gets but was shocked to hear how much better the v-cap was. in tweeter xo the cap is in series with the driver. What get lost here even the best driver can't recover. Buy the best cap your budget allows. Be warned about the lenghty breakin of these caps. I had mine cooked for 4 days by manufacturer in cable cooker.
