After getting a pair of Koss CM/1030's a few months ago, I was advised to replace all the crossover's bi-polar electrolytic capacitors with metalized film caps made by Erse. I looked for cheaper alternatives for the values required but it would have meant ordering from two or three vendors and even though I am not sure it would make any difference, it might have meant mixing brands. I got tired looking.
I was never aware of the company Erse as that name was never extolled upon by contributers to that other forum. Despite the extensive list they offered of available values, I piggy backed some to arrive at the right number.
Won't be sure whether or not these new capacitors sound any better than the bi-polar electrolytics they replaced. It's been about three months since I last heard the speakers. But if nothing else, the crossovers look more business like than they used to.
