My concern and reason for asking is that you could get better speakers, take them home, and not hear the improved sound-stage performance if you cannot place them properly and supply appropriate wall treatments to reduce the early reflections.
I've liked Triangle speakers whenever I've heard them. I think one reason is they use a large midrange driver over a wide frequency range, which takes the crossover problems out of the critical mid-band.
If you can try them in your home without committing to them, that would be the best thing to do.
If the amps are already modded, then you won't degrade them if you are careful. Power supply caps are tricky if the replacements are not the same size and shape. Keep in mind the cans are part of the circuit and may be at high voltage with respect to the chassis.
