Clarity CMR vs Jantzen Alumen Z caps


I believe I have narrowed it down to these 2 caps for tweeter. Can anyone give there experience or opinions between the two. I've also heard of combining the two, has anyone tried this, thanks in advance.

I agree, I don't think I can go wrong with either, or mixing them. There much better than what I have now, it can only improve no matter what I do. I'm considering all Jantzen or combining, may not do all Clarity, who knows. Just want to order, get them in this week so I can remove Sonicaps. Not much info on Jantzen maybe because it's new and was hoping someone may be familiar with Jantzen Alumen from what I have found sounds like a very nice cap. I put Jantzen supremes in Preamp I use to own,have tube CD player with Jantzen supremes so I am familiar with supreme sound but not Alumen. 

Thanks raul, I'm going to go ahead and order the Jantzen Alumen, they seem to fall more into what I'm looking for. They look small even though I've now moved the crossover to outboard on a 2 inch maple platform. If Alumen do what I think they will, I will do point to point adding some nice inductors. I've never seen silver inductors. Parts express is out of the 8.2 may have to go to hifi collective unless anyone knows where else to buy them, thanks for all the help from everyone I don't think I could have figured this out on my own.
That interesting is the silver ribbon bright, im familiar with alpha core I have copper is some monitors( they are point to point). Couldn't  find them from dealers, ill look at little harder. The inductors in LSA's are cheap. If the silver knocks a little edge off things  while adding a little air that would be nice, but if it tips it up I would have to stay away. My only concern is my speaker cables are solid core silver TG Audio Lab( Bob Crump, had his Blow Torch Preamp) they are very smooth, but do not sound like silver. It may sound funny but I think just pulling crossover out of box made a difference while not changing any parts.
