one large cap, or a few added up?

I have heard proponents of both theories. There are some who swear by "cascading" caps such as 10uf/7uF/4uF/2uF/1uF to make 24uF. There is another camp that says that the caps should all be of the same size when paralleling them in order to avoid time-smearing the sound, such as 6 X 4 uF to get 24uF.

In my Infinity RSIIb crossovers I'm using the latter approach.
