    I am thinking of changing caps especially on my monitor 5's ( but I am sure the ls70's would benefit also) ..
    What brand/price were those ??

    I have a pair of LS70's and perhaps I hear a little bit of silbilance, but only if I listen to it and quite frankly, I'm not sure if it's the trilaminates or the source material. Also, I drive these speakers with a tube amp and preamp and that might cut back the sssss's. One more thing, I upgraded the crossovers with Sonicaps and that was quite the improvement. I do believe there was some sibilance before I changed the caps, but after the change, about 95% of that was eliminated. Well worth the change.
    The LS90s were definitely more hissy than SDAs. I didn't do anything to them, but as time went on the problem became less and less. Pretty much, my ears got used to the change and the problem wasn't as stark. When I changed back, I again noticed due to the lack.
