RE: Coupling capacitor values

yes, increasing the coupling capacitor value (capacitance) a bit will actually helps in extending the lower frequency rolloff a bit but not by much in your case.

Mind you though: one cannot infinitely increase their coupling capacitor's capacitance in hopes of getting more bass out of it (how many of you folks can hear it all they way down to 35Hz (I can't), and lower?!?) without getting into instability issues.

Remember this: it is ok to resort to the closest next common capacitance value (in your case) but not a good idea if you venture too far off the mark. Afterall: this value is properly calculated right from the beginning during the developmental stage of you amp.
