I've appended the values shown in the B&W 604 S2 parts list in red for ease of reference.
C1 32 wtf 150 uF
C2 55 close 53
C3 7.03 close 6.8
C4 9.85 close 10
R1 00.5 close 0.33 ohm
R2 1.6 close 1.5
R3 1.6 wtf 1.0
R4 1.1 close 1.0
L1 1.8 good 1.8 mH
L2 .995 good 1.0
L3 .712 good 0.7
L4 1.007 good 1.0
L5 .080 good 0.08
Components C1 and R3 are obvious candidates for replacement. R1 is out by a large percentage as well.
I'd retain components that measure within 10% of the parts list value. However I'd be inclined to replace any that show signs of heat damage - regardless of how well they measure.
For replacements, can't you access the Monacor site to which I linked earlier?

Thanks Galu, the C1 measures negative 32, "-32", regardless of which polarity I use. I don't know if that changes anything. All the other values measured positive.
Thanks, I have registered now with Monacor. I don't find inductors on their website anywhere.

That is strange, as inductors (coils) start on page 3 of my link: https://monacor-webshop.com/product...eaker-systems/electric-components.html?page=3
The reading you are getting on C1 changes nothing - that capacitor definitely needs replacing (unless you are using an inappropriate scale on your multimeter for measuring a high capacitance of 150 uF).
Regarding replacing components that are miscoloured or partially melted, it's up to you to make that judgement based on the degree of damage. If such components are still within specification, it may be more trouble than it is worth to replace them. However, it would be prudent to replace the most badly affected components in order to ensure the long-term reliability of the crossover.
EDIT: When you've drawn up your list of components requiring replacement and find difficulty in sourcing exact replacements then please come back for more assistance.
