Re: Speaker wire length w/capacitor

I agree with Jeffrey that what you're thinking about is several orders of magnitude below the sonic effects of different caps ... or even which way round you connect the cap ... or the wire you used - so there's no need to obsess about it.

However, I'm interested in why you think the wire path on either side of the tweeter needs to be symmetrical? Just focussing on the amp and the tweeter:
* the amp sees "something" between its 'hot' and 'ground' binding posts.
* this "something" is the tweeter driver, the cap or caps & coils in the HP filter and some connecting wire.
* the amp doesn't care in which order these are arranged in the circuit between the 'hot' post and the 'ground' post; it has no concept of symmetry.
* symmetry is only relevant when comparing R channel to L channel.

Regards,

Andy
