Below is a link to a large cap "shootout", which includes his take on the Wima MKP 10. I'm mostly including that because he found them "more forward" which is also my take.
"Sound: With the WIMA MKP 10 you get a neutral, smooth and well balanced capacitor. For this price range the amount of transparency is quite reasonable and overall the MKP 10 is pleasant to listen to. Compared to the similar shaped and sized Mundorf RXF the presentation is more forward and a fraction less clear. But never the less it has good overall sound qualities. Don't forget to give it some time to burn-in. Fresh out of the box they sound restricted and dynamics are limited. After several weeks of use they should open-up.
Verdict: 8"
As your friend said, "we like what we like", and there's no universal "This is the best [cap, resistor, tube, etc] in the world, despite what some would have us believe.
One Wima I've read very few negatives about are the DC Links. I've yet to be able to try an all film cap power supply due to space limitations, but that's one I'm looking forward to hearing for myself.
