In Reply to: Extended Frequency Range: Effect on Perceived Speaker Sound posted by tlyyra on April 19, 2007 at 05:22:55:
...the way we perceive sound is very complex.When a small change is made at one fequency, it affects our perception of other frequencies, sometimes in the opposite end of the frequency spectrum.
You can experiment with this if you have a speaker with tweeter or supertweeter controls.
This seems to occur even if the added information is outside the normal audible hearing range.
When people add supertweeters, they usually report an increase in sound quality overall including the bass frequencies.
Oohashi, IIRC, a Japanese researcher, presented a paper some years ago showing that adding frequency information above 20KHz increased the subjective listening enjoyment of his test subjects.
