Being that the caps in the crossover are not electrolytic, is a recap worth it?
Would there be a noticeable difference? They sound great now. Also, I'm 44
and my hearing isn't super. I mean that, while I'm by no means deaf, I don't
have "golden ears" by any stretch of the imagination. They were recently refoamed.
The controls could use a shot of deoxit. Anyway, I'm on the fence regarding a recap.
Opinions?

I've owned mine for over 30-years and haven't felt compelled to mess with perfection. :dont-know:

If you wish to spend money on them, then good quality modern MKP's like Audyn Cap Plus, Mundorf Supreme or even the red Jantzen Superiors should make a nice improvement.

Agree
Leave them as built

If you wish to spend money on them...I don't dispute that those caps maybe an upgrade, but I would submit that spending that money elsewhere in the system, or buying more music would be money better spent.
