Clarity MR caps for external crossover?

I'm in the process of selecting crossover caps for my Tannoy 215 DMT II. Clarity, Mundorf and Duelund have caught my attention after reading Tony Gee and Jon L shootouts. I need pairs of 4.8uF. 36.8uF and 200uF caps, so the project using any of these brands is expensive, and staggeringly expensive if I go with Duelund. Would appreciate hearing from people who have used these caps in crossover applications.

Thanks in advance,
Jay

The MR's have perfect synergy with Tannoy drivers.

For the values that CC does not make, split the value in half. Using unequal values, especially in series with the tweeter, will have a negative effect on spacial information.

As for the 200uf, I would consider ESA's though.

And I agree with Magfan in using an air core inductor for the LF circuit. Be sure to match the DCR withing 10, preferably 5% or you'll be sure to create undesired effects.
