Sure, better caps.
Even the Clarity level (they make 3 or 4 price points) would help.
BUT, nobody seems to want to address the inductors. The most important inductor is in the bass end of the circuit. It sees the most current. Too much juice thru an iron core will saturate and alter the response. AirCore inductors made from a size or 2 larger wire will NOT have that problem. ever.
Converting to an AIRCORE of as close to the same DC resistance as possible will help. Unfortunately, you've now used up ALL the internal crossover space provided and need to go 'external'.
The other factor is that if you lower the resistance TOO drastically (it can be done) you will also slightly alter the frequency balance of the panel.
Too much is never enough
