Whats your thoughts on them?

I've used them. Old Matamps and Oranges used them. Not bad sounding IMO.

The ones i seen on ebay are a little high for my blood but I have sourced other places and there alot cheeper.
Did they smooth out the highs a little?

I got some from http://www.justradios.com for my HIWATT build. Another source is http://www.surplussales.com. Can't say if they sound better/worse than the alternatives, but the amp sounds really good.

I recently swapped out the 1nF polystyrenes with Mojo Dijons and I can't say that I notice a difference. Still good.
