Hi Raul,
Tony Gee's site is one of the more interesting ones on the internet. You can visit his home page at http://home.hetnet.nl/~geenius/index.html
There he offers an extensive array of speaker designs for the DIYer that are very well documented. What's interesting is that he uses almost exclusively series crossovers in his speakers. For many, series crossovers done properly are more coherent/organic than their parallel equivalents but a bit more difficult to dial in, one of the reasons being that they place higher demands on the drivers themselves. Of course as in all things audio opinions will vary. Some commercial companies that use series crossovers include Fried, vmps, Gallo(Ref III), GR Research and Reimer.
In any case, go through the write-ups where he describes his speakers' sonic characters and his design goals for each, to get a feel of what his sonic preferences and priorities are.
As I understand it, Sonic Caps are now in their second generation said to be better sonicaly than their predecessors and they also offer a teflon cap that is allegedly comparable in performance to the V-cap. As for the V-caps the word is that they are an excellent capacitor but as stated elsewhere in this thread their higher price would make them a more suitable application for electronics. Unfortunately I have no direct experience with either of these caps so I cannot offer an opinion.
Cheers.
