I have found Mundorf caps in general, and especially the Silver/Oil caps, to tilt toward high frequencies and be a bit lean in the bass.
I wonder why the tech thought it necessary to bypass them, possibly compromising signal integrity. They are very nice caps (at least in the high and mid frequencies) by themselves, and I don't expect they would benefit from bypassing.
The value is probably ok, and perhaps the low end will flesh out a little with break-in, but the basic nature of those caps is, in my opinion, always going to sizzle the highs and starve the bass.
berate is 8 and benign is 9
