Vintage speaker crossover upgrade




I've resurrected some 80's Sony ss-U500 speakers and am joyfully spinning some vinyl for the first time in many years. The system so far is free so I was thinking of what the cheapest and easiest upgrade would be so I decided to replace the capacitors in the speakers.

Surprisingly the only thing in the box was one capcitor on the mid-range and nothing on the tweeter or woofer. If I were to put in a cheap three way crossover how would I go about choosing one? The speakers sensitivity is 91db which is a good match for my 30 watt receiver so I wouldn't want to mess with that. Would it be better to just replace the mid-range capicitor?
