Default Re: capacitors in series - pitfalls?

For what its worth, I recently read (via Douglas Self) that the distortion caused by capacitors is a function of the voltage across them - its generally a very small figure, but can be significant at low frequencies in power amp coupling, or below the corner frequency in a low pass filter, for example. One way to reduce the distortion is to use series-connected capacitors.
