Mundorf Supreme EVO Oil Caps

Oil caps; hype or valid benefits (for a tweeter)?

I’m running my beyma 5 in coaxial, with no low-pass on the midrange and a 2nd order LR high-pass on the compression tweeter with Clarity Cap CSAs. I’ve been a fan of the CSAs (some here have differing views -ok) and I’m good with my current filter, but I’m debating trying a 1st order high-pass (apparently better phase integration in this set-up with no low-pass on midrange) maybe trying EVO Oil Caps? The beyma is a pro-driver with good power ratings and I’m running it with a low-power ACAmp.

I’ve been looking at the Totem Tribe Tower Thunderbird running two 6 in drivers full-range / no filter with a 1st order low pass on the tweeter- very interesting (keeping it as simple as possible, but not simpler). Anyway, the phase relationship of a 1st order would be better than a 2nd order on the tweeter in this setup. And if going with a simple 1st order (+Lpad circuit) for this coaxial compression tweeter, thinking oil ?

Any and all comments welcome- especially for oil can fans - thx

If going to try oils, try the ASC X386, X387, or X389 models. I’ve not really had favorable/preferable results with the white Mundorf caps, oil or not.

Thx for the suggestions.

I want to try a 1st order high pass on a tweeter with a non-filtered mid or woofer build (possibly with a .5 woofer?) but thinking a $300 coaxial is not the place to get my feet wet (smoke a tweeter). Could be an interesting project - and with just a single cap (ok a resistor or two) on the tweeter maybe some oil / foil / wax for the tweeter cap…
