There are many who think they can replace capacitors and hear improvements.

But, if one tries to be realistic and think the following, the top models of JBL have never been produced in very large numbers. If it is the case that a few capacitors of possibly better quality will give significantly better sound what would it cost JBL?
JBL, which is a very large customer, does not pay the same prices for components as one that buys 10 or 100 pieces.
What would a small extra cost for capacitors mean for the price of the product to the consumer?

Probably nothing.

I agree, however in my experience the electrolytic capacitors can decline in performance after 20 years and it is not always measurable by a capacimeter.
Chinese elytones are also very cheap in terms of electrolytics.

I just think that in JBL they used that type of capacitors because they had full stock ....

Probabilmente in un futuro non troppo distante si procederà per la modifica in SE sostituendo i condensatori elettrolitici con i solen MKP.
