anyone use a bypass capacitor like the Vishay MKP1837 on the tweeter cap? Any reason why this would work better than not using it?

You don't need a bypass cap if your main cap is up to the task. Use Clarity or Sonicaps and there is no need to bypass. Some people believe you can take a mediocre cap or even a lowly electrolytic cap and bypass with a small value cap like the Vishay or other better cap and make it sound a little better. Why not just use a musical cap in the first place? To me it;s just a band-aid or a cheap way out.

I use bypass caps because of size constraints most of the time
But then again Im trying to shove 2 gallons of stuff in a 1 gallon bucket most of the time too - Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Bypass caps in the tweeter or mid circuits have a negative effect on imaging. Buy a quality cap and there's nothing else to worry about."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.

Absolutely. It's usually a fix for something that sucks in the first place or to make up for a shortcoming on the cheap. Buy the correct part, the right part and a quality part....this will never even cross your mind afterwards.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
