Rodmann is right. Many do feel three 5uf caps would sound better however. Some pretty big dollar speakers use this method, but I have not compared.
Capacitor Questions Re-capping Dahlquist DQ-20s
I'd like to re-cap my Dahlquist DQ-20s, but I'm running into some problems finding replacements with the same values, especially among higher-end capacitors.
For instance, one of the specified caps in the crossover is "14.5 µF", but I've not found a single one of those online. There are plenty of 15µF capacitors though. Will that substitution work? I have the same questions about 3.0 vs 3.3 and 5.0 vs 4.7/5.6 which are way more common.
Finally, if anyone has done these specific speakers, would you mind sharing what you used and how you liked the results?
Thanks for reading!
