The only reason given that has been mentioned was that electrolytic capacitors do not have good bypassing properties at higher frequencies, so potentially it could provide some improvement in the high frequency harmonic content of speech and music. Personally at 71 years old now, I doubt I could hear any difference. One other way to tell would be to do some frequency response tests with out any added bypassing and another run with one installed. It could perhaps also have an influence on tone bursts to test transient response.
I am not personally one of those who believe in monster speaker cables. After all, the conductors in vacuum tubes, audio output transformers and internal to many semiconductors are quite small. My speakers are never more than 12-15 feet from the output amplifier, often less. I am currently using 16AWG stranded speaker wire, but have also used 12AWG and 14AWG lamp cord with good results and no complaints on my part.
