I understand, as anyone who took a basic course in human biology, that dogs and bats, as some of you so clearly put it, are, unlike humans, able to hear sounds well above 20khz. (See Dog Whistle.) The general focus of my question, as grasped by Duke, was whether or not the sounds generally inaudible to us, have an impact on the sounds that we do hear. As such, frequency response of a speaker may make a both a subjective and objective difference in sound quality, especally when considering a system which support SACD.Therefore, Duke, thanks for the insight, for what it is worth, you were able to give me a decent answer to my problem:
----Getting back to your overall upgrade strategy, I'd say go with an SACD player before you start adding 50 kHz response to your speaker system. SACD is a clear audible improvement even on lowly 20 kHz speakers----
As such, I think I will look into upgrading to a SACD, enjoy the substantial improvement in sound quality, and save my pennies future speaker upgrades.
Thanks again,
