Crossover Resistors advice needed

Hi guys
I got some nice speakers that use Raal 70-10D and KEF B110. Crossover uses ClarityCap PX/ESA ...BUT all resistors are cement type Bennic. I have an itch that needs scratching and I want to change resistors for some non inductive audiophile type.
I dont want to spend crazy money on PathAudio or Mundorf Ultra but I am willing to try Jantzen SuperRes, Ohmite AG, Mills MR12 or cheaper Mundorfs.
Anyone have experience with going from cement ones to these mentioned?
Also which would go best with ribbon and which with somewhat darker sounding (just a tad) KEF B110.
I dont like forward sound..what I like is detail and musicality. My whole system fits into that category...it is tad warm but detailed and dynamic. (TDA1541 NOSdac, Levinson 23.5/27.5)

Thanks

I’ve gone cement to mills several times. Mills are my go to. I use them for everything regardless of tweeter type. I really like them and I don’t think you can do better for the price or even close to the price.

Also had good luck with superes.
 
As z-adamson said, Mills resistors are the go-to's for many applications. They may be hard to find so you could also consider Jensens or Mundorfs as well. Just make sure they're at least 10W or more and they're non-inductive.
 
hmmm.My last post disappeared...anyway Thanks for quick replies!
As the Jantzens are cheap I am more and more considering them at least for Zobel/impedance network but if I get chance Ill stretch to mix of Ohmite AG and Mills12.
I have read that Mills can sound lifeless and "rounded" but appart from that all other reviews seem to like them.Comments on that?
How would you compare sound of Jantzens to one of Mills ? Which one for midrange and which one for ribbon ?

Tnx!
 
I've never noticed the speakers I used Mills resistors in sounding lifeless.
Partsexpress sells some. Or heard this from others.

I would be using mills all the way around.
