Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I'd try out adding a small amount of R in parallel with the new capacitor as its equivalent series resistance

is very likely to be lower than the original capacitor. This would cause the tweeter level to be up a bit, and BRIGHT!

If there's a series resistor in the high-pass section , up its value a bit.

And I'd look at paralleling capacitors of descending value to make up the original total value.

Eg. a MF polycarbonate, then a MF polyprop, and then a teflon.

Might be cheaper, too.
