There are the limitations of the recorded media to consider, too; Compact Disc and any other 44.1kHz sample rate digital audio source has an upper-frequency limit of around 22kHz. Only Hi-Res digital and the best analogue sources can reach higher.
So, the burning question is, “why bother reproducing frequencies we can’t hear”?
n the natural world, we are surrounded by sounds and frequencies which extend beyond the realm of what we perceive as ‘sound’. However, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that we ‘sense’ these high frequencies, just as we ‘feel’ sub-sonic sounds.
The way in which these ultrasonic frequencies interact with what we *do* cognitively hear is believed to make a big difference to the realism and ‘natural’ way in which we hear sound. Listeners report a more relaxed and natural sounding system, and a surprising improvement in bass detail, thanks to a more balanced frequency spectrum.
There’s also a categorically measurable benefit, and that’s the ability of these super-tweeters to deliver incredible transient response and wide and smooth reproduction across the conventional audio HF spectrum.
