replacing capacitors

[Verdinut]

Changing them all seems a bit of a waste of money. They shouldn't be more than 10 years old. You don't have to match the original brand. Just match the value and voltage rating with a good quality polypropylene capacitor. Audyn and Dayton make good caps for reasonable prices. Jantzen and Mundorf will get pushed by some "audiophiles" but they are overpriced and will not make a measurable difference.

Solen, a company located in Saint-Hubert, Quebec also make among the best capacitors for passive loudspeaker crossovers. I use their polypropylene caps in my designs, so does TLSGuy. Take note that both Madisound and Parts-Express also carry them:

I believe the original poster is located in the UK. He will probably be better off using vendors local to that country.

In that case Wilmslow audio. They are the UK guys to go to.
