If you have some DIY( Do-it-yourself) experience and are handy with a soldering gun, replacing a couple of caps should be an easy afternoon of fun for you. get access to the cross-over network. Determine the capacitance and voltage of the caps in there for the woofer and tweeters( if 2-way design) There is another site called Madisound that specializes in speaker cross-over parts you can order from for cap replacement. Their website is:

Be careful and have fun.
I recently rebuilt the crossovers on my Kestrels - pretty simple circuit - my first DIY venture - but as Sns points out it isn't a cheap date by the time you redo caps, inductors, resistors, internal wiring, binding posts - I have nearly as much in the rebuild as I paid for the (used) speaks - moral being look carefully before you leap
Ckorody,
Was the crossover rebuild worth it to you in improved sound quality?
checked crossovers there is two caps a 6.8uf and a 10.uf. Looking at budget anywhere from $10 to $45.Do not know which is any good on B&Ws. Want them to be more clear than harsh especially on vocals
With that budget for those size capacitors I don't think you'll find happiness. The best quality, relatively low priced caps I've heard are the Jantzen Z-Superior copper caps, $44 a piece in 10uf value. Available at partsexpress.com
