The Solens are metalized poly - meaning the poly film is spatter coated whereas the Hovlands use a seperate layer of film and foil for a cleaner noise-free sound. My opinion is try the Hovlands. If you find them to "bright" or forward sounding, try a Jensen copper foil in oil - the best cap I've ever used.
Solen vs Hovland caps
Looking for opinions on whether it would be worth it to change the caps in my diy monitors from solen to hovland caps.My speakers are scan speak 1845's and 9900[revelator]tweeters.Also interested in veiws on other cap brands that might be considered as good or better than hovland.
