I wanted to share resources for purchasing MKP axial capacitors often used in speaker crossovers, tube equipment, or wherever else they fit as a direct upgrade. Some vendors I've found include: digikey, mouser, parts express & parts connexion. Another relative newcomer to the game is "Bevenbi" brand. They don't appear to have very good distribution yet but are competitively priced. If you have other sources you've used and would recommend for MKP/polypropylene, feel free to share links.

It appears Bevenbi is located in China, so shipping might be an issue. The FAQs state they require all international orders to have an ongoing minimum order quantity which could also be an issue. Have you ordered from them? How did it go?

Yes, they're a Chinese company and I haven't ordered from them yet but included them because someone I spoke with familiar with speaker repairs has used and recommended them. Did you contact Steve and that's what he said? One nice thing about them is that they're available in several different voltage ratings within the same product line. This allows greater customization because when you go with a lower voltage rating on a film capacitor, the physical size and cost of the cap goes down and makes them much easier to work with and they fit in tighter areas better.
