Great amp but getting old now over 14 years, depends on how many turn on cycles it’s had, but I would do them.
You can get say Nichicons same voltage and maybe even more micro farads for around $100 each, you need 4 of them. Make sure the diameter (to fit the mounting clamps at the bottom) and height (so it doesn’t touch the lid) is the same. If your handy and know + from - you could do them your self no soldering, everything is bolted, in around an hour.

PS: there are also a few other smaller electrolytic caps around the input/driver board that should be done also at the same time.
