Replaced the 15uF MR-shunt cap with...

...a 13uF SoniCap-1 and two SoniCap 1uF Platinums, all of which I had.

Have decided not to spend another thou$and or so on 99/01 silver/gold wire. (DAMN that stuff's expensive!) I'll use, for the MR, 18g. Neotec UPOCC-copper paralleled with 24g. UPOCC-silver, and 23g. UPOCC-silver for the tweeter. I already have the 18- and 23g. wire.

And it sounds better already. (I'm breaking in these systems 24/7 with full-band pink noise. Good thing the music room has a solid door.) The sounds of massed violins are already smoother and...sweeter. I LOVE it!

The last-two chokes are on the way; I'll then rewire the entire thing (MR and treble only, of course).
