Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Ultrasonic Nonsense, speakers, etc. What do you guys think?

I'm not up on super tweeter theory by any means but I was under the impression that their Raison d'ĂȘtre was more for treble "ambiance" than actual frequency response extension. Kind of like adding subs to speakers that already offer good bass.

Indeed, to go along with your frequency response arguments most men over the age of 40 can't hear above 15khz let alone worrying about 20 or 22.5khz.

I suspect it has less to do with the frequency response and perhaps how they affect other frequencies lower down into the audible spectrum. Then again it could be BS to sell you something that does nothing in the real world. Until I've heard them in some kind of numbers I'll reserve judgement.
