RE: Purpose of these Caps?

Using the caps to extend higher frequencies seems plausible. However, the caps are polarized, possibly electrolytics, and that implies a largish value. The Cary schematic posted above by Chip647 seems to use the same arrangement, and that transformer is bridged with approximately 2uF. Doesn't 2uF seem like a lot of capacitance just to extend the highs? The transformer is only driving a 220K load (plus the grid). Too bad the Fisher schematic doesn't include values.
