Replacing the electrolytics on vintage speakers will almost always improve the sound. Like Wayne said, you don't need to use botique caps. I've found Dayton caps from Parts Express are very attractively priced, and they sound about as good as Solens or Jantzens. The poly caps will be quite a bit larger than the equivalent value electrolytics and may not fit in the same space on the circuit board, so you may have to attach them with short lengths of insulated wire and secure them with wire ties.
