Sometimes yes......mostly no.

Thousands of people, including many many manufacturers use bypass caps. Large caps are inductive and usually do not do the speed and high frequencies perfectly. Audio Research, GR Research.....on and on have used bypass caps. Me too. As capacitors have gotten better over time.....and if you use the very top of the line ones....then you can many times get away with just one cap. You have to experiment to know what is true or not. Do not believe me or anyone. Find out for yourself. Audio is very complicated. When I see someone say something is "only this way"....then most of the time.....it is not true. Very complex is audio.

My friend has an Apogee Duetta speaker that has Vcap Odam caps in his xover.....however, every stack is bypassed by a small value copper foil V-Cap Teflon for even better sound.
