I am in the process of recapping the AA crossover in my La Scalas, and I am having a hard time finding 13 mfd oil caps. I can easily find 15 mfd. Is there a problem in using the 15 mfd caps in lieu of 12 mfd caps? Thanks,
Min

I'd parallel smaller values to get what you need.
"It's a different experience; the noise occlusion, crisp, clear sound, and defined powerful bass. Strong bass does not corrupt the higher frequencies, giving a very different overall feel of the sound, one that is, in my opinion, quite unique."

Min, are you looking for the motor run type oil capacitors or the more pricey PIO caps? Do they have to be oil? Will regular film/foil caps work?
I would use 1% Dayton film crossover caps.
I would parallel a Dayton 1% film 12 mf with a Dayton 1% 1.0 mf to get the 13 mf.
