Axion (Solen) is probably good enough.

The Audyn Q6 caps in OP’s speakers crossover are MKP film capacitors, I don’t see the need of changing them, IMO.

With those values, worthwhile improvements will be out of this world price and massive size would require outboard crossover. Keep what you have.

Here's sone interesting Capacitor Test that might be helpful. It includes 9 clarity caps.

Why do you feel the need to change your xover caps ?

Usually, they are film capacitors and would last more than anyone on this thread would.

Unless any of them are busted, just leave them alone :-)

Perhaps upgrade the speaker to active is a better move?
