Behri never advertised this capacitor change AFAIK, so I wonder if maybe they just weren't entirely sure which to use yet. Personally, I've never found a filter where yellow, box/film sounded better than C0Gs. If I decide it's worth voiding the warranty, I would try polypropylene in mine, if only because it's an easy change.
