Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

"One can hear ultrasonic energy too if it's loud enough,"

I do agree, especially with your statement that "THIS is not the same as hearing / detecting a tone at those frequencies though and what people describe as "air" is more likely to be in the 8-10KHz range." The most striking demo I heard of a so-called super tweeter was in a situation where the main tweeter had no LP filter added and the "super" tweeter had a relatively low HP filter. The addition of the "super" tweeter was obvious but, because I know my own HF sensitivity roll-off, was probably due to intermodulation and increased output well down in the (commonly) audible range.
