Jim Lill has a video on Youtube testing exactly that. It demonstrates conclusively that cabinet design for guitar speakers makes a difference:

This is hardly surprising; cabinet design matters for every kind of loudspeaker. Note also that electric guitars can produce a wide range of frequencies, especially once you add distortion. Distortion generates additional tones both higher and lower in frequency than those already present.

Oh man, I've got some egg on my face for this one. I actually have a guitar cabinet that has a special geometry that disperses the sound in an area instead of directionally like guitar speakers normally do, which I bought explicitly for that purpose! Despite this, I still said what I had said, a couple posts up. How embarrassing.
