    Better than the old caps not as good as Sonicaps. Perhaps a little bright in the HF circuit. Consider Sonicaps for the HF circuit and Dayton for the LF circuit.

    Is what I've read.

    Are you disappointed in how they sound right now? If no, save. No sense in breaking the bank for some capacitors.

    They're bone stock.They have been used for their whole existence. I'm sure abused,since I jumped out the polyswitches,and 1 tweeter was replaced (rdo194),all other drivers are original.

    Polyswitches cut out with low power.

    Clarity cap is more budget friendly for the HF circuit. Dayton's are still better than old stock caps. Replacing the resistors with Mills wire wound is also a must.

    I rebuilt my SDA SRS with Dayton 1% on the highs and 5% on the lows, huge improvement over stock. If I had it all to do over again I would probably go ClarityCap ESA 250 on the highs ClarityCap PX 250 on the lows and Mundorf MOX or Mills resistors. Either will give you better sound than stock. And replace the rest of those tweeters to 194's. Also if the tweeters are a bit bright add a 0.3-0.5 ohm resistor in place of those problematic polyswitches.
