Well, it's complicated:
My mids/high amp originally came fitted with Arcotronic MKP.
When i started bi-amping I decided to give K40y9 a try (using them when the amp is used full-range is impossible: the values are too small, making the bass roll off at around 90Hz in my case), and I DO love them,
..but then recently I had a short period where I wanted to re-use the amp full-range and I decided to try some MKT1813 I had in stock.
The full-range situation didn't last and and i'm back with my active bi-amp setup, but i left the Vishay MKT because they were still in break-in period and I wanted to hear what they were capable of.
Quite frankly, while I do miss the bloom and texture of the PIO caps, there was an obvious roll off in the high treble, giving the sound a vintage, analogue presentation that didn't fit ALL music styles. The Vishay MKT are still burnin-in, but still I can hear that they do things that the PIO can't do, in extension and airyness.
I'm trying to decide wich ones I like best, but it's not as easy as I thought, those MKT1813 aren't so bad really, they are actually quite good. I will see what happens after a few more days of burn-in...
