i must upgrade my crossover filter.
the caps i'll use are ClarityCap CMR, but i have doubt on the sound of the following resistors:
- mills MRA12
- mundorf m-resist supreme
thank you for your answer
bye

Both are pretty much the same i.e. they both employ a bifilar winding structure, so have inductance-cancelling effects. Personally I would go for the Mills because they are true mil-spec resistors, lack the marketing babble, and are a bit cheaper - also seem to use more copper.

thank you for your reply
do you compare them ?, what are sound differences ?
when you say that mills use more copper what do you mean ?
thank you
Oops, did some research, both use copper construction, both are non-magnetic, both use bifilar winding. I've used Mills before & had no issues, for the price, you could compare both, but looking at how similar they are I highly doubt you'll be able to hear any difference between them at all. That the Mills are mil-spec means they have been objectively tested in extremely demanding environments.

Mills are more than Fine . IMO already Overkill for purpose resistors.
I have them.. although in All honesty they made Zero audible difference over the oem Tannoy resistors.
A while back I went and listened.. to an aquaintance that gleefully replaced all the resistors in his HPD crossovers with Duelunds.
Had to, as he wouldn't shut up about how good they were.
They weren't sounding great at all.. then noticed the effing fool had bungled the rewire of his crossovers... so much for the improved sounds .
Belief supplants logic.. most every time.
IMO at least: Fair chunk of change pointlessly applied.
no one heard mundorf mresist supreme ?
hey guys, about your point of view do resistors need breakin period or no ?

No, they don't.

In fact it seemed strange to me.
O.T.
and for caps ?
