    Default Capacitor identification please

    Morning all.
    You’ll probably confirm that I do have a screw lose when you read this .
    I have my Tannoy SRM12x speakers that I recapped back in January with equal value Ansar supersound capacitors , and gave them 3 months of daily usage to burn in but I was never happy with the sq so 2 weeks ago I put all the old capacitors back in and hey presto the magic was back , some had strayed from 6.8uf to 7.1uf ( I tested them all when I initially removed them ) . So I now have all 8 identical nos caps on their way to me ( they’re Philips) but I need to get 2 identical ones seen in the picture, there is no brand name on them , they measure 27mm x 8 or 9 mm and have 2.2 J 100 printed on them ( and the little wave thing )
    Anyone know this brand ?
    Ps : I am fully aware that I can replace them with similar ones .

    They look to me like 2.2Ohm 100v MKT caps. Others opinions may vary.

    2.2uf 100v - Most likely polyester.

    Plessey?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    The difference between 6.8uF and 7.1uF is so small in value as to not be worth bothering about.

    Any idea why they sounded bad ( or not as good )with the allegedly quality supersound caps ?
