Default Are Non-Polarized Caps (in speaker crossovers) Electrolytics?

This is a crossover from an AR4x speaker, contemporary to the A25, and
also well respected. But from a manufacturer that did not do things
in the cheapest possible way. Note the inductor, and non-electrolytic cap.



** AR normally built their speakers in the CHEAPEST way possible.

That white cap in you pic is clearly non original - see pic of original AR4x crossover over.

AR normally used non-polar electros OR paper and oil caps that self destructed.

I bought a pair of AR2Ax 3-way speakers a few years ago just for the cabinets - nothing else was worth keeping.
