recapping crossovers....do or don't?


I need some advice....I have recapped several pieces of my system with good results. But I am really hesitant to do so with my outboard crossovers on my speakers. The reason is they sound wonderful.....very coherent,musical,and image beautifuly. You ask why look for trouble....well the crossovers use MIT multicaps which I think are fine...but there are about 4 Solens also. Solens have a soso reputation and are not known as a really hi quality cap.

Do you think there is anything to gain here or am I playing with fire....BTW these speakers have Dynaudio drivers and are about 94-96db efficient.

I have built an outboard crossover for my JBL L-300s. The Duelund resistors are magic! If you have resistors in the signal path you NEED to give the Duelund resistors a try. The Mundorf Gold-Silver-Oil caps are also very very good in the signal path.
