RE: Interesting Allen, I know a lot of musical instrument overtones extend beyond 100kHz

Teresa,
You asked me:

"So since my Infinity Reference Kappa 7 speakers are down 3dB at 45kHz would I need to install 100kHz supertweters? I know we can perceive frequencies that are 50dB down but even at that I doubt there is much beyond 60kHz. "

Adding supertweaters may give you more wins than you could expect, but it's not needed to enjoy wider bandwidth from your electronics. My ears now struggle to get to 10kHz on a pure sine wave test, but I can clearly hear the benefit of extending the bandwidth of an SACD player from 40kHz to 100kHz, or an amplifier from 200kHz to 2 MHz.

Why? I dunno but it's really obvious when you hear it.

Regards, Allen (Vacuum State)
