Tannoy Crossover Capacitor 1000V ?
I would just use a good 4.7uf on the HF unit, that would really open up your choices. I recently tried a pair of Obbligato Copper Caps and thought they were fantastic. Sonic Caps also aren't bad. Or you could go crazy and check out Claritycap MR's... 
Tannoy Crossover Capacitor 1000V ?

You probably threw your speaker's balance off and the mids are now beaming. 
Proceed CDD - repair or not?
