Then you are certainly incredibly lucky...and have almost certainly never seen Deep Purple in concert in the 70's! :o) Mostly what's up there is harmonics from cymbals and other percussion instruments. Most people seem to prefer to have a slight roll-off in their room above 15k anyway. Given that frequencies that high need quite a bit of energy to travel very far from your speaker that's not a bad thing. Try sticking your head near a tweeter and then move it away slowy - amazing how quickly it gets a lot quieter... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X with Good Vibrations S/W - MF X-DAC V3/X-PSU/X-10 buffer (Audiocomm full mods)- Linn 5103 - Linn Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43269 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
