Meg, these caps are not directly in the signal path.
Good is probably good enough. You don't need Lexus caps.
Better than stock for sure, but at some point other parts of the amp will become the limit.
Just for example, are all the resistors a good film part (thick or thin) or are there some carbon resistors? Are the rest of the caps film caps, or oil/paper, or some inferior make?
Too much is never enough
