General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Advent Lrgacy Redux

Recapped Legacy Speakers today,
NOS caps from my parts bin, Bennic, Dayton, and Solens,,
Removed added coil from woofer,.. woofer is now running full-range.
X-over was a easy upgrade, removed 32 and 6 uf caps with heat gun, then de-soldered from coil.
I replaced internal wiring (18awg?) with 14awg, ala "White Lightning".
Very easy to mod these.
I dropped the 1.3 ohm resistor, Seems much cleaner.
After listening for an hour or so, I am very happy with the sound improvement from the original "lytic" caps.
They sound like new vintage speakers now.
I have not changed the speaker terminals from clip to banana jacks
yet...all this took me 6 hours or so.
I want to thank every one for their expertise and encouragement,
My next project is refurbishing my Sansu au317.
What Silicone heat paste should I use?
