Wharfedale Linton 85 crossover upgrade

I agree with Galu. If you change the values of the components it will change the sound of the speakers. I think without understanding exactly what that change would sound like, I wouldn't do it. Just looking at the schematic, it looks like increasing that value to 33 uf would cause the midrange driver to crossover to the woofer at a lower frequency. That might cause a hump at the crossover point. One thing to consider is the designer also had the chance to make that value a 33 uf and would have saved a little bit of cost but he didn't do it. He must have had good reason.

There seems to be an inconsistency of values from the photo to the schematics, regarding the woofer circuit:

On the picture, you see a blue 80 uF electrolytic capacitor, on top of another yellow cap in parallel. There is no 80 uF value on the schematics, there are C11 and C12 of 68 uF and 18 uF respectively, which add up to 86 uF. Therefore, for the photo to be equivalent, the yellow cap bellow should be 6 uF. Wouldn't it? This has puzzled me for a long time.
