Can I replace a 24uF capacitor with 22uF?

I am planning on replacing the Bennic caps on my Tannoy Turnberry SE low frequency crossovers with either Mundorf Supreme or ClarityCap MR, depending on how many caps I need to buy. Currently there are two 12uF caps in parallel. Can I just replace these with one 22uF cap without hearing any significant shift in frequency balance?

Vapor1, I am intrigued by this idea. Can the 4uF cap really have that much influence even though it is only roughly 16% of the total capacitance?

I've decided to go with 22uF Mundorf M-Cap Supreme + 2.2uF ClarityCap MR. Also replacing 100uF/100V Elytone non-polar electrolytics with 100uF/250V Mundorf MKP + 0.01uF Vishay MKP-1837 -- that should work, right? Thanks!

Grannyring, which Mundorf caps did you replace, and what do you like better about the Clarity SA? I don't think I have the space to replace a 100uF electrolytic with 3+ large value film caps. But I do see that ClarityCap makes a 100uF/250V ESA so I will go with that instead of the Mundorf MKP and maybe add an MR or even V-Cap CuTF bypass later. I think I will stick with Mundorf Supreme for the 22uF.
