BeoLab 8000 modification: do you know this?

[KolfMAKER]

I recently saw a BeoLab 8000 with a capacitor added to PCB02. It looked like in the pictures below. I believe the capacitor is connected to two pins of the main IC.

Question

Does anyone know what kind of modification this is, or what it solves?

Is the crossover network still existing and fully mounted?

Otherwise ist could be a bypass for the crossover…

But it looks like a standard work of B&O… ???

Check, wether this cap manufacturer is also used on the board.

Probably the crossover ist defect or the one who did this wanted to change the sound.

Either more bass or treble… but without filter this is senseless and will destroy the speakers.

If it is treble: very nice to send low frequencies to a tweeter, this will extend lifetime… to some minutes.

And if it is bass: ok, this will kill the amp…
