In the PSU for an active speaker? He didn't say he used it in a
crossover, just that he tested it and found the resonant frequency he
mentioned.

Incidentally, the tan δ for that capacitor is given in the maker's
datasheets as as 0.16 at 120 Hz, so the ESR isn't fanstasic. There is
no mention of self inductance values, but as it's an aluminium film type
capacitor, the self inductance figures won't be all that low.
