If you need higher power like a tweeter pad then you can use a couple of parallel Caddock 132s or a big power Caddock and bypass with a nude Vishay. Caddocks sound grey by themselves but when byassed by a nude Vishay the resulting sound is seriously transparent. Say you need a 3.5 ohm resistor....then use a couple of 8 ohm 132s in parallel (or large 4 ohm Caddock) and use a 30 ohm Vishay in parallel also.

There are those who think paralleling resistors to be a very good thing but usually the recommendation is for all to be of the same value.
Which makes a certain amount of sense to me.
I follow the advice but have never bothered to compare paralleled resistors of different values to all being the same.
With low power speakers, especially in tweeter circuits I have routinely used MK132s with no heating at all. If I still needed a resistor in my circuit I would try the TX2575 without hesitation.
For attenuation in a 500 hz crossover I wonder how long they would last?
Paralleling resistors is going pretty far out, maybe a little too far for me. I don't doubt your word, and I understand what that might achieve, but I'll save that for later on when I've done everything else I can and still have money left. I don't mind the sound of the Caddock MP's in my xovers. I think they sound better than any of the others I tried: Duelund, Mundorf MOX (never got around to the big Mundorf's), Mills, etc.
I'm not sure what the term "gray sound" means. Let me guess: a bit mechanical, not ultimately "organic"? If that's it, I agree to some extent, but I find that a less objectionable coloration than some other types. My hearing does not extend very high any more, so perhaps I can't detect that quality in very high frequencies as well as others can. I do hear their clarity and even tonality. I love the way cymbals shimmer and ring instead of spit and hiss.
I thought the trial of Caddock MP's in a crossover was a pretty original concept. I had never seen it mentioned anywhere else. If there were a high power capacity Z-foil, I'd be on it in a heartbeat.
Peace,
Tom E
