capacitors comparison

hi folks!,
have you done a comparison between capacitors types?
which sound better about your point of view?

LCR and ICW polypropylene, both 630v I think sound excellent, and are affordable. Big. I've not heard any audiophile branded ones yet. Clarity, imaging, detail, attack are all improved over lesser types.

MKP type sound grainy and lifeless by comparison, but they're smaller and cheaper. Electroyltic - hehehe. (maybe ok with small film bypass, in a cheaper speaker project perhaps.)
