Melos MA-333 Upgrade Caps

I have a Melos MA-333. It has eight Solen 10 uf 630v and four 1.0 uf 630v coupling caps. What caps would you consider upgrading to? The preamp has a very extended sound top to bottom with very good detail and dynamics. I am looking for a little more texture to the sound. I want to keep any replacement caps to the size of the Solen caps for easy installation and limit any additional changes requirements for installation.

I was considering Auri and Clarity replacement caps.

Thanks for your suggestions.

All of the coupling caps are Solen. I was looking at the Mundorf caps but the 10 uf are 4" in length. The larger Solens are 2"H x 1.25 dia. The smaller ones are 1"H x 3/4" dia. I am trying to keep them close to the same size and values just to see what happens. I read about the Obligato's but the reviewer said the lacked some of the lower frequencies.

Thanks.
