The solen caps are known for sounding fussy. A cap upgrade will yield good results as will replacing the thin gauge inductors for foil ones and resistors for Ohmite Gold resistors. The only questions is will the foil inductors fit when the crossover is re-installed back on the speakers, in which case, it can be installed outboard of the speaker?.
