I think the study provides evidence that there is no logical reason to limit frequency response of any recording medium to 20kHz., even if no one could hear above 20kHz.Unlike bass frequencies, treble over 20kHz. is:
(1) Not felt by the body
(2) Absorbed faily well by air in the room, and
(3) Easily masked by much higher music energy levels at other frequencies.As soon as I noticed that the study used unusual music that contained an unusual amount of high frequency energy, I suspected the study leaders had an agenda.

"They are if the study is to correlate with people visiting this website and the typical music they listen to"To paraphrase Carly Simon, "You're so vain, you probably think this study is about you".
Why should this study correlate with people visiting here and the music they listen to? For a start, science is rarely concerned with audiophiles and music lovers. We benefit from quite a bit of scientific research but that's a happy accident. I doubt Oohashi and his fellow authors have even heard of us, and that doesn't detract from the study one bit.
I think that really drags this thread to an end.
Give me a $#@%&$@ break!

Give you a break because the study results were used by someone here to support the purchase of supertweeters by someone else here!I'd be happy to give you a break if it weren't for one thing. Your first post was entitled "Dumb Study" and simply rubbished and, in my view, misrepresented some aspects of the study. I said I didn't think the study was so bad but all you've done since then is to try to trash it even further. You didn't about the use others made of the study at any time. You simply trashed the study at every opportunity.
I'd be happy to give you the break you asked for, for the reasons you want it but regardless of what others have said in this thread, my debate with you has never been about whether or not the study could be used to support the purchase of supertweeters. It's been about the general worth of the study, as a scientific study, right from my first response to you.
Amen.
