I am looking to replace the filter caps in my power amp. These look like good filter caps and match the current values of what I have int there now. Opinions?
CAP 100V 15000UF ELECT SCREW - MAL210119153E3

These are good capacitors (formerly Philips), though slightly better brands may be available.
If you want to know some alternatives, then equally important: what is their size (diameter x height, in mm), as you would probably like to fit the new ones in the current position, using existing brackets. And: is a PCB directly screwed on top of it? In which case the terminal spacing must be identical with the new caps. In that capacity and voltage rating, there is a large diversity in sizes, and in terminal spacing.
Interesting alternatives might be Rifa and Mallory.

Yes these fit my brackets and I have no boards strapping to the screw terminals. I do have bleeder resistors on top in 3.9 ohm values. I was thinking of using Mills resistors for those but they are a little pricey for that application maybe?
The spec sheet on the Vishay capacitors is below:
http://www.vishay.com/docs/28371/101102ph.pdf
Max. ESR = 16 Mohms @100Hz
