Should I replace capacitors in Active ATC's??

I've had my Active ATC 20 towers now for just over 5 years. Does anybody know if the caps would need replacing after this time or is there still more life to be had?? If anyone has undertaken to do this DIY style, which make of caps did you use and how did they sound??

Mooner.

You'd only need to replace electrolytics. BUT, 5yrs down the line, it really may not be necessary yet. Have you detected any loss of clarity, dynamics, "closed in" sound, lately ? If not, I wouldn't worry UNLESS you simply wish to try to improve the sound (the change is reversible, anyway).
BTW, if you're not a diyer I suggest you get a hard-core hobbyist or a qualified electrician to do it.
