There is none. Expect and accept irregularities in mystic theories.

In the really old days of audio and radio, we were taught to put the capacitor outer "winding" on the return side or lower potential or Earth...This was supposed to help shield the "high" side from interference more so than the other way around. I suppose there still may be a reason to do this but it would take very high precision test and measurement equipment to prove or disprove this I'm thinking.

In high-impedance and/or HF circuitry that would make sense. But not in loudspeaker crossovers, low impedance and low frequency.

Yep, agree with markbakk; That's why I added the comment about precision test equipment.
