I was just about to say this, Don already responded to it. Besides, finding a compact oil filled capacitor of 2-3 kVDC rating is much simpler if you use a few uF. You don't need 10 Hz low end response, thats wasted power since most receiver/speakers won't reproduce that. Also, the capacitor is just another source of stored energy in your radio, to deal with from a safety standpoint. More is not always better.
