capacitors to Thrshold S/160 amp

Hello friends, I'm looking capacitors for my Threshold S / 160, they are 15000uF 100v, I talked to Jon Soderberg, and told me the following:

The amplifier is in need of new capacitors to continue operation with much performance.
With new, larger value caps the amp will Have More bass and better detail as well.

Regards,
Jon Soderberg

but has not given me more information, that capacitor is not the best for Threshold, and place the most suitable without spending much money ...

a greeting and I hope your answers

many thanks

You are replacing the original Mallory 15000uF/100V?
Mallory was purchased by Cornell Dubilier about 10 years ago. All the Mallory caps are made by Cornell Dubilier now still labeled Mallory all caps are made in South Carolina factory.

Your best choice for replacement Cornell Dubilier DCMC203U100BC2B( 20000uF/100V) 2 inches in diameter or 4.1 inches long perfect fit about 60$ each. You can buy it from Mouser/TTI/Digikey. Also Nichicon LNR2A333MSE 33000uF/100V but they are longer 5.6 inches long same price Digikey have these in stock. Using very high capacitance not recommended.
