"The T900a super-tweeters were crossed in using a 6dB crossover @ 10 kHz and covered the frequencies of 10 kHz to 38 kHz. I believe that despite the fact that I don't hear above 15 kHz, adding super-tweeters must create some psycho-acoustic effects that the brain perceives on a subconscious level."
Actually, in your implementation, they usefully covered the frequency range of about 5kHz and upward, given your 10kHz at 6 dB x-over. Further, since an 8 inch driver will severely beam at upper frequencies (as well as have decreasing output even on-axis), another part of the improvement can be attributed to a better ambient sound field. This is not subconcious, it's readily and audibly apparent.
