Expectations after re cap of power-amp


My 1982 Yamaha M-2 power amp is in the shop and this time I agreed to replace all the suspect capacitors. Two of the capacitors are the size of coffee cans and the total bill may exceed $500. I am told that since all the replacement parts will be as good as or better than the original parts it should sound as good as new or better.

I’ve never done this before.  Should I expect “as good as new” or am I completely wasting my money?

it will sound much better...but don't expect it to sound nearly as good as the Classe amps you really want...but definitely worth the cost to recap...
I know a few professionals who won’t go near a Marantz vintage receiver
