Just bought some 1988 M5's in good condition & they sound great ...... will I notice a difference if I upgrade my tweeters?........how about the caps?

Welcome.

I highly recommend it. Here's my link to the cap upgrade on my M5's. I also have the RD0194-1 tweeters and they are an amazing speaker for such little $$$.

I followed heiney9's X-over upgrades and replased the SL2000's with RDO-194's and these M5B's are better sounding then when they were new IMO.

Which Caps do I order from Parts express for my M5's?

To be safe you should pull out the x-over and look at the values of existing components. Replace the capacitors and resistors with identical values. Some like Clarity Caps I'd use and have used SonicCaps for soniccraft.com and Mills resistors.

Amen.
Also look beyond PE for the HP caps.
Look at Sonicaps or Clariry caps from madisound.com
