Yes, that is correct.
As a follow up to this thread, I replaced the black beauty caps with new polypropylene caps and it sounds a lot better (ESR if black beauty caps was 13 ohms and the new ones measure 0.5 ohms). I replaced one channel and then compared it to the unmodified stock one. There was a marked difference in clarity and bass. I left the old caps in (disconnecting one end of each). Now it still has the old caps that can be easily hooked back up if some person in future feels so inclined.
