So does that mean a more expensive film cap could sound worse, as far as
damping goes anyway?
Yes, it can sound worse easy as it will change the amplitude/phase.
Especially when the designer (generally speaking) of a filter is preferring them for the sound (not costs) within a certain system then an "upgrade" can sound worse.
Most people who upgrade their speakers have no clue what is happening in reality and rave about "improvements" pretty quickly to find out later that the old parts didn't sound that bad when these are connected again to check...
