Real/live music extends well past 20K HZ. While some claim this is not audible I suspect it has an impact on the overall presentation. If you look at some of the finest components on the market, many exceed well past what has become the standard 20K range. While this alone may not put them in the absolute upper echelons of performers, it certainly is likely to contribute.
What is the ideal High Freq extension?
I think for a world class system to sound like live music, a good smooth grain free silky (if music calls for) high freq extension is mendatory. But in my mind where the 'flatness' should roll off (at what db rate?)is a big unknown and not quite clear. Is it 10k HZ, 12.5k HZ, 15K HZ or the ideal 20k hz.
This assumes you already have excellent bass extension and mid range.
One would think at ideal 20k hz there will most likely excessive ambience and thinner sound.
What is your opinion?
Thanks.
