I have a pair of Criterion 4x I got for free. They're in my office, hooked to a Fisher 4035 receiver. When I got the speakers they didn't sound like much. I re-capped them (with basic electrolytics, I didn't want to spend $ on Daytons) and they sound surprisingly good. Nothing revolutionary, just a clean, open sound with decent bass and imaging.

The caps I pulled out of the speakers were the smallest I'd ever seen, like those tiny, cheapo caps in the parts drawers at Radio Shack. I suspect that's the "secret" behind many Lafayette speakers' crappy sound. Maybe the 4x is an anomaly, but for freebies they're pretty nice.
