Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them?

I own the MKl version of the Crescendo and see the crossover uses all Acoustic Zen branded capacitors. Most are blue in color with the smallest values bring black. Does anyone know what company makes these for AZ? I did email the builder, but no answer. Love any information the community may have on this topic.

Outstanding and can't wait to hear your report after 300+ hours; those caps should be at their best by then...

Wow that's some ambitious work Grannyring. I've recently been using clarity TC caps and have had very good results. Enjoy!

Hi Bill,
I can appreciate the time and effort you put in accomplishing this project,  very nice work. You are right,  this is not a simple crossover by any means.. I know how well the stock Crescendos sound.  With the improvement via better parts it must be quite heavenly.

Jet, those TC caps are the best I have heard in a power supply! Hard to fit because they are so large however. The Arizona Blue Cactus caps are wonderful for coupling. Wonderful tone.

Charles, thus far the improvement is so gratifying. My wife commented last night that the system sounded beautiful and the presence of the performers was an obvious improvement.
