So I have noticed that Cerwin-Vega's have a habit of using a 7uf cap and Parts Express and mouser do not carry that value. Anyone have another avenue to follow?

you could also parallel a 3uf and a 4uf....

Where is Butcher?

Really they are "Reproducers", but the early phonograph diaphragm device was called "Reproducers" first.

 

To the integrity of the thread, though, my "buy before I die" speakers are Wilson Alexx's. Love the Robot look. Heard them at Capital Audio Fest. Dreamy.

Looks like something that examines you and spits out the results at the bottom. 😂

Parallel not series?

Correct - capacitors don’t work like resistors.  Paralleling capacitors = the sum of the capacitors paralleled. If you had the room, you “could” parallel seven (7) 1uf caps... just make sure they all have the same voltage rating.

Wilson are made about 45 min from me, up in the Wasatch mountains.  I went up there several years ago and took a tour - very nice folks, and an incredible facility.

 I would love to hear those magicos.  It’s fun to make fun of expensive speakers but wouldn’t it be nice to spend some time with them! Hmmm, honeycomb woofers 😬
