Correct, sober 1. You're replacing stock 3 uf with two separate caps with two different x-over points. Roughly 4,229 hz for 4.7 uf cap, & roughly 9,034 hz for 2.2 uf cap. Jensens have smooth bass-to-midrange tonal transition, and the 4.7 uf cap integrates tweet response near the Jensen's upper frequency range (which is usually around 5 khz; btw, Sansui's two-way AS-100 speakers use a single 4.7 uf x-over cap with their Coral alnico drivers). You'll get sparkle from the 2.2 uf cap on upper tweet. Changed 3.3 uf x-over caps in a pair of Cerwin Vegas to 4.7 uf, which are paired with 12" replacement Electro Voice Forces (stock Pyle Drivers were shot). EV Forces have a frequency response up to 7 khz, but stock CV tweets just sounded better with 4.7 uf x-over caps. This retired printer was raised as an efficiency fiend, with a guitar-slinger's "get thy tone from thy amp" mind-set. Your Heaths already sound exquisite as is; merely suggesting a little tonal sweetening of their alnico magic. Try modding one speaker & compare it to stock. Difference should be quite an ear opener. 73s para Sactown!!!

will do, though it might take a couple of days once I get some caps. cap type/brand suggestions?

Dayton Audio 1% PMPC polyprops should suffice, sober 1, & you can conveniently order them through Amazon. If you'd like some auld-skool sparkle, try NTE metal films. Either way, your Heaths will sound as beautiful as they look. 73s para Sactown.
I think I will give the film caps a go. Thanks man.
