Not quite sure what you meant by M-Cap, but if you meant modding the capacitors in the crossovers to a higher grade or different material type of capacitor, then yes, it does sound better provided you change into the same value type, juz different material(eletrolite, film)

Well... i think by simply adding components into the crossover, it doesn't definitely be a good thing.

Moreover, AFAIK, M-Cap is actually the brand name of a capacitor that's used to upgrade to better crossover components, so... if it's replacing wif the same values but different capacitor brands, it does make difference sonically.

Escaflowne, is that a custom self-made passive crossover? Looks like there's quite some components inside, IMO, for passives, if possible, it's best to keep component count low wink.gif

Was wondering, where you guys usually get the parts for your custom passives? Been thinkering with the idea of making a passive from scratch but don't have the clues of where to buy high quality parts, would like to avoid those Jalan Pasar stuff though laugh.gif
