Black Gates and Jensens are high quality capacitors that are an order of magnitude better than anything you'll find used stock. The guys at Reference Audio Mods recommended the Jensens for the power supply applications, and the BG's for use elsewhere. Other people may have their favorite caps, but I think all will agree these are on the short list of excellent choices.
I understand your question, and there's not easy way to respond. But the mods made every part of my Wadia 301 sound better, including making it sound less "digital." This is just my opinion, but I've found everything that comes before the speaker, is more important to what your speaker ulitmately sounds like than the speaker itself. I've upgraded my entire system, but I'm still using the same speakers- and they just keep sounding better and better the more upstream improvements I make. I should say, however, that I'm not familiar with your Talons, so you may have a system matching problem too. Like I said, no easy answers can be given over the internet and without hearing the system.
