3107 crossover capacitors

[Paky33]

Does someone know how to tell me that type of caps they are those of the 3107 crossover?Particularly: what are the yellow type?

[Mr. Widget]

The yellow caps are mylars and the blue one is a NP electrolytic. These caps were pretty much the standard back then. Later JBL took to bypassing them with .1 or .01 film/foil caps.

As I have written in another post: I want to replace those.
I believe better to replace that bypassing the old caps. in
I had thought about replacing the caps on the tweter and those for the middle tall with JENSEN paper/oil. For all the others of the common caps in polipropilene. Are you able sayd me if this is all right? I don't know whether to use for all the caps in polypropilene. Can you recommend me which brands and types to use?

Thanks

Does nobody know nothing?

I'm now using Solen metallized polypropylene for everything, with no bypass caps.

I'm not about to mess with oil/paper, nope.

I am biasing the HF sections of final designs.

[And some "maybe" final ones, also.... ]

apparently.

If you are refering to the stuff for sale on Parts Connexion yes the paper an oils are nice, but they are not meant to be a compensation for other issues. Most people around here would not consider such expensive components. Check diyaudio and other forum for ideas.
