I have 2 pair of Miflex 8.2uF 250V Copper Foil caps available and passing along the deal I got them for when they were being closed out.  I bought these for use in other projects but have changed direction.

BOTH PAIRS ARE BRAND NEW.

NX speaker owners... look at your schematic.  These are very likely a great choice for your Neo 3 tweeter.  HiFiCollective has 2 left at almost $500 each... these are half that price and I am passing along the deal. Here's a chance to make your own luck.

Giving a head's up here, and listed for sale in the Accessory section here -->  https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=191111.msg2009256#new

These caps are spectacularly good.  They take the speakers the last few percentage points to make them world class.

Good luck with the sale!

How much better in sound are these compared to the sonicaps?

A lot better.  In fact I now refuse to use any caps in my speakers except for copper caps.  When you use a tin or aluminum cap (almost every cap out there), a lot of the tonal information gets stripped away vs. a good quality copper cap.

Hi Brandon, I would keep them and use them in the Epiphany 20/21 Line Array speaker project, but they just aren't the values I need.  The 20/21 are going to have a LOT of copper in the crossovers - likely Duelund CAST PIO. Resistors will be Duelund CAST or Path.  The Inductors will be Goertz, as that is what Danny has ordered for me. 

The reason I called out the NX speakers for these Miflex caps is because it seems every owner who hears these with the Neo 3 in an NX-Treme, NX-Otica, NX-Studio seems to think it's magic.  At this price, it's half of what it normally costs for some special stuff, so it may be of interest to some.

I bet it is magic.  It is probably in my future and something I have thought about but further down the list.
