I am unaware of any technical mechanism which would explain a sound difference between the orientation of caps or inductors in a crossover. As to whether I can hear any difference, well I've never tried it. I have tried it on several clients, with very high grade systems and excellent listening acuity. In single blind tests, they were unable to hear a difference, either. BTW: these same clients COULD readily hear the difference between BRANDS of polyprop caps.It may be instructive for you to have someone wrap the caps in black tape, so you could not identify which end was which, then perform some random swaps, to see if the effect was real, or not.
