[QUOTE="sailor, post: 1116808, member: 1530"] [USER=14190]@kinosfronimos[/USER], Oh boy you did not read the article that explains in detail the answer to your repeated question. The high frequencies well above 20K are part of the make up of the musical note, that is, they do not exist as a separate entity. They are contained within the waveform envelope. I state again: The 2 octaves above 20K are embedded in the complex harmonic structure, nowhere have I claimed it possible to hear above 20K. Try this for yourself: If you have a media player with EQ, cut off the last octave at 10K using the steepest slope available and hear how lifeless the music is, then go back to normal response and notice the difference, then extend that high frequency performance out a further 2 octaves. Yes the result is more of the same but you need a tweeter that can produce VHFs to 60K or more. It's called a [B]super-duper-tweeter.[/B] Perhaps you have an old piezo tweeter somewhere you can try. Some go to 45K and need no crossover. They sound a bit rough but you will get the idea. I'm not selling anything here. I am simply attempting to make those interested aware that 20KHz is not where audio stops. I see it all the time. When something is repeated often enough over time it takes on the mantle of being fact and is then believed broadly to be a truism. You appear to be interested but not enough to do your own homework. You also have the option of dismissing the linked article and my attempt to dispel the nonsense about 20K is all you need. Leave the dark side and join the enlightened :) [/QUOTE]
