magnet7 - yes, that 8uF tweeter blocking cap is the best bang for the buck. Psychoacoustically, its function range in the midrange and treble is where our hearing is most sensitive. 

jafant - the pleasure is mine. Good work here, guy.

magnet7 - my latest schematic (22dec'87) shows an 8uF (not 8.2) which had replaced the original 7uF spec.

@tomthiel - Yes, I know that according to the scheme it should be an 8uf.  I ordered the 8.2uf because the Clarity CSA does not exist in 8uf, only in 8.2uf.
The technician who is helping me with this upgrade project says that a difference of 0.2uf is not relevant.  What's your point of view?

magnet7 - He is correct, that's 2.5% over target, which is OK.

@tomthiel 2.5% over target may be so, but I recently sent back five(!) pieces of 6.8 uF caps (CC) because all of them were 7.0 uF.. I would not have minded this very much, were it not that they sell 7.0 uF caps as well.. that for me was reason to send them all back.. and now I'm waiting for Rob to send me five be says he has (and which he says sound excellent..)..
