I have a Bogen DB10 with two 4x5uF multisection caps. The lowest value replacement I can find is a 4x10uF by CE. 

Would this be an appropriate replacement? 

PDF schematic attached.

If you mean the places where you have 5uF caps (the power filter is 2x10uF) then, yes, they will not adversely affect anything.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Hello notcalibrated,
If this was my Ampifier I would use two 4.7ufd Film Capacitors like these Panasonics that I use that rated at 630 volts They are very good capacitors and only cost couple dollars each .

Sincerely Richard
