I would second those though I had not done that myself as they were beneficial in other components. I would also upgrade the caps in the XO cards to better foil types. Made a significant difference in imaging and clarity and major in taking some electronic edge off. note that foil caps are far larger for the same values.

Most likely that would be a downgrade not an upgrade. Phil has been supplying excellent capacitors in the frequency modules of his crossovers for years now. Either polypro or usually polystyrene types. These are small value capacitors.....a couple of nanofarads usually.

I am not saying they are bad but the foils are better - particularly noticeable with high order filters. Even the cheap Dayton foils sound smoother and fuller while not robbing you of detail. This was not trivial.
Also Burson op amps in the input section are a plus by some reports
