Not all teflon capacitors are created equal. Funnily enough, I tried the K40Ys and found them to be like most other "good" PIO capacitors; they make everything sound "good", but they lose some of the dynamic contrasts that you hear in a live performance. (My opinion, at least.)
Anyway, I doubt that K40Y's would fit in the allotted space where we see those ".22J100" capacitors. Polystyrene film types would also be a good choice. From the photo, it is not obvious to me that the new K40Ys are acting as couplers, but I take the word of the OP for that.
