[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 8826, member: 20"] Pricing is something I have not done yet. But I have seen some motor run caps at ordinary electrical wholesalers. That's where I noticed the more favourable pricing for the big values. I don't know if the smaller values are competitive. But yes, if so then one could use a combination of these and maybe small value imports for paralleling. I did a bit of of research on industrial polyprop caps (Wima etc) some time ago and local prices were not attractive against Bennic, Solen etc. Also sometimes difficult to source in small quantities. I have not yet checked out US online electronic component stores for them. I have a gut feel this might be a good option. Why else would Sonus Faber source terminal cups from Bennic but the caps from Philips? I think an industrial cap sourced from the right place would be cheaper than a crossover cap and be functionally equivalent. [/QUOTE]
