Good advice but this is not as easy to archive as it sounds. Be warned
that some capable speaker designers add special caps in the right
place. Simply exchanging them doesn´t make your speaker better. It may
break the voicing that was done by the developer completely.
At least you can play with different brands. The cap in front of the
tweeter may have the most impact and rarely will break the design. 
Be cautious with caps surrounding the speakers of the mids. Here a
smooth voiced Clarity cap can mud the sound of the whole speaker. The
other way around it may calm some agressive domes and let them
shine...
The parallel caps of the bass may be a cheap tuning. If it uses a
higher order filter as 6db there is most certain an electrolitic used
cause of price. Here a relative cheap MKS4 (is like MKT) if voltage
fits can do nice improvements already.
