I would look at hificollective and see what you feel like spending. They stock mine https://www.hificollective.co.uk/cat...ne-p-5237.html

I did look on there Lee but they don’t seem to have any top notch axial ones , i will give Nick a call on Monday for his suggestions too, ( They’re only a mile away from me )

Evening Gerry, any recommendations on which caps to go for ? I’ve researched it on the net and it’s overwhelming, Initially I just want to replace the Richey 50uf caps but I can’t decide on the best replacements .

Regards
Andy

Obbligato oil caps, but these are large...really pull the bass into shape. They replace the 30uf cap (or there about). I used Solen 50uf as I could get a single cap at a good price. Sky is the limit though.
I bypassed them all with 0.01uf Russian PIO or Teflons.

Plenty on the the Planar Asylum re x-overs. I made mine external as the inductor was huge.

Cheers mate, I have to say that I think the bass is just amazing on these ( like having a big sub )

Looking great. How's the search for the 50uf capacitor going?
