Default Caps (brand & suppliers) for KEF Concerto's?

Hi all,
I'm hoping to get some recommendations on what brand and type (electrolytics vs polyprops etc) of capacitors I should be going for in my 30 year old+ Kef Concerto's?

I have tried to research this but simply got more confused (easily done, by the way!!)

I would be keen to hear from anyone who has actually done this job at some stage, and the results they got.

I'm also especially keen to hear from any other Aussie members who may be able to direct me to a reputable local supplier of caps with whom they have dealt previously.

Once I know what caps to get, I can then start to ask the really dumb questions about how to physically replace the caps!!

I may not be able to bring much to these forums in terms of technical advice for others, but I'm pretty sure I am going to give you all some laughs at some stage, or at least bolster your egos through my own obvious lack of talent!!

Many thanks,
Hodgie

The problem is that xovers are very carefully matched. So buy matched pairs (the same for drivers) or (%) low tolerance. You can buy the best for mids and tweeters and leave the electros for woofers. You can use all props caps.
