Hearing above 15kHz


Now that I've crossed the half century mark I can't really hear anything above 15.5kHz. So, am I correct in that I would never hear the real benefits from speakers that use super tweeters crossed over at 13kHz to 15kHz, e.g. Dali Helicons, Harbeth SHL5?

Good point Mlsstl. I cound probably disconnect the ribbon tweeter in the Helicon and not notice any difference. But if the balance of the speaker sounds great, that's all that really matters.

Perhaps, as mentioned above, we can sense quick rise-time or high intensity sounds at or above the fixed pure sinusoidal limit of our hearing.

I see an experiment unfolding!
