Capacitors

Does anyone have any experience using Jantzen Capacitors in the SDA-SRS 1.2TL or any Polk Audio Speaker? I know Sonic Craft is the defacto standard choice of cap I am very happy with in my speakers, but if I wanted to go a level up to get more out of these speakers, and since Dueland is out of reach for many, the Jantzen line of caps looks to be the most economical choice.
I was thinking of looking into all three lines of their caps - the Audio Superior Cap (which I think would do fine for the drivers), the Supreme Z Cap, and the Silver Gold - which looks to be most useful as a by-pass cap.
Any thoughts?

Statistics show that 98% of us will die at some point in our lifetime.

When using better than original caps, there's no need for a bypass cap."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

I would be willing to try other caps that are out there other than Jantzen. I do admit that the Sonic Caps and Mills Resistors are a great match for the speakers.Statistics show that 98% of us will die at some point in our lifetime.

My fathers xovers are getting done with Jantzens right now, should be done in a couple weeks. I have never heard the Jantzens but will report back when I have spent some time with them. I would also like to hear peoples impression of these caps versus others, the only ones I've heard are the Sonicaps on my 1C's and I love them.
