"Why do you want one? If you aren't a bat, you can't hear frequencies above 20kHz..."While you can't hear them as discrete signals, you can perceive them (i.e. your cortial activity changes near the hearing center with ultrasonic sounds) and they affect your hearing of localisation of sound (i.e. when naturally mixed with frequencies that can be formed into a hearing experience, they enhance this experience by providing additional positional cues).
This has been proven in controlled medical studies.
Do some Medline searches if you don't believe me.

HalcyonPS Another possible added benefit of ultra-sonic tweeters is that they are often more accurate and stable also WITHIN hearing frequencies, due to having to cover the "unhearable" frequencies as well.
