Guys, The schematic call for a 1.5 Ohm resistor, I was wondering if a 1.7 Ohm would make any noticeable change?
Planning to use mills and Mundorf supremes... any other thoughts?

You may find the Mundorf a bit tipped up on the top end, I do.
Reading between the lines even says so.

Thanks for advising! Going 1.7 in lieu of 1.5 was intentional, I remember a tiny diference in value mellowed the sound when i replaced the polyswitch with a resistor on a sda crs.
The supremes were recommended as a good option for my goal, but I have no experience. I am looking for a laidback warmer tone that compliments the Parasound sound, treble can be slightly rolled off.
I noticed that the sonicaps have a long burn in time until they’re actually very nice in the beginning they are a bit bright, I think.
The clarity caps are pleasant with vintage Marantz. I am not sure how they will stand with the gear I am listening now...
.
FYI, Mundorf caps take at least 300 hours to cook.

It was just a joke, not meant to be serious advice.

One does not need to spend a lot to get a decent capacitor.
I have received the part for the speakers, 1.5
ohm mills resistor ( a no brainer), and found 6.8uf Clarity CSA caps on sale a 9 bucks each (another no brainer). Never used this line, but loved the ESA, the CSA are allegedly a notch up...
I also have two .22uf Jantzen Superior Z-caps leftovers from previous projects.... so a no-biased blind-test and the oscilloscope showed me that the dielectric material... ahhhh (no it did not!)
I was thinking, it's just .22uf (extra 2.24 %) why don't I piggyback these two to see what happens?!
10 minutes into the burning process, and changes are obvious! The overall sound is smoother, the CSA are great caps...
Regardless, It’s a big deal upgrading electrolytic to films alone, the mills resistors also add sweetness to the sound... love it!
