What is the advantage of those metal film filter caps over our traditional electrolytics?   They are so big!  Especially when compared to radial electrolytic caps.

They last forever.

[pompeiisneaks]

Yup exactly.  Unlike electrolytics that can dry out and fail over time, these don't have a 'wet' electrolyte, and therefore last forever (unless they fail, which ANY component can do) therefore in theory the amp should never need any touches inside once done.  There were 0 electrolytic capacitors used here.

I finally got done with a demo of this amp, sorry for taking so long:
