Cap Upgrade Ideas for VTL's

So, when I got my amps the guy I bought them from stated they have upgraded MIT caps. However after looking at them not 100% sure they are as some are not marked so was thinking about recapping the amps at some point.
I heard that some guys did paper and oil caps and was looking to get ideas.
I don't want to add anything sluggish to the sound and still want it to remain open and clean. I like the sound of the amps but just want to ensure they will last awhile still.

+1 on Mundorf. I use the Silver in oil in my DAC and they are fantastic! The silver and gold in oil I hear are even better, but have not personally heard them. The silver in oil are worth the price though, I will say that.
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
