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.
