" Trumpets have power at 80 KHZ and a concert harp is probably the most ultra wide band of all we know of, measured at 110 KHZ."

How fortunate, then, that microphones, CDs and vinyl all do 100kHz. And Jesus walked on water.

There's no tube amp*--triode, pentode, interstage- or cap-coupled--that will give you 20-20,000Hz. There's no tube amp that can drive a speaker that do 20Hz, +/- 1db. For that you will have to go bi-amp and then you can use active subs.

*I'm sure there's somebody out there who has built a 1,000W tube amp. Paired with the appropriate speakers, it should be able to do 20Hz. But this is the exception.
