Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC

Hi Everyone,

Need to build a new crossover for my Tannoy Monitor Red. My first choice for inductor is Mundorf Copper Air , M-Coil CFC. But it don't have the value I need and so I have to ask Mundorf to custom made it for a price. Then I found the Jantzen Copper Wax Coil, which looks fancy and cheaper. However, Can't find any review online. 

I am wondering if anyone has experience with these coil and which is better? 

thanks
Vic

Absolute low DC resistance in a coil is not always a good thing.

A good crossover designer builds that into his design, and altering the DCR can alter the crossover.  It's often a beneficial thing in that lit becomes part of the work to balances efficiency for bass output.

Alter the DCR of the woofer coil and you alter the system balance.

Alter the ESR of a capacitor going to ground and you can introduce some really odd impedance curve behavior.
