spooky: umm.. yes it might affect our brain somehow.. but how is the poducers supposed to make music that he can't hear? those high end frequencies might be reporducable and might affect us.. but how do we know they don't sound like shit..?

the last pic in this sequence is photoshopped, but everything up to it is legit.

the bass that we cannot hear is only a 30hz difference... anything above 10khz we can't hear.. and most tweeters can handle much higher then that, and these 'super' tweeters can go even higher.... which is waaaay overkill.

well new formats such as dvd audio support 96khz/24-bit format audio. I would assume you would need something of the sort to really take advantage of a super tweeter

The point of the higher frequencies like that is used in things like soundstaging and making the instruments sound better. Obviously if you're only going to make/listen to electronic music, investing in a good system is a waste of money. But those analog frequencies that we can't hear are what make the diffrence. It's what makes the diffrence between listening to an opera on a boombox and listening to it on an audiophile system: One sounds like a recording coming from speakers, the other sounds like the people are standing in your living room, and if you close your eyes, you can literally SEE where the bass player's fingers are, you can make out the exact layout of the drumkit down to the metal suports, you can hear the rustling of the clothing on the singer, etc.
I speak from experience when I Say that everything makes a difference in how much better the sound is, but you are still limited by the amount of effort into quality that the people making what your listening to put in, which is why most NIN albums can blow anything out of the water, quality-wise. Listen to The Fragile and realise that THAT was mastered on ProTools at 16 bits, but EVERYTHING recorded passed through a FUCKLOAD of analog gear and he uses NOTHING digital.

One day, you will learn to apreciate the finer things life has to offer. If you paied ANY attention or knew anything about the brain and about sound, you would know that we DO hear them, we just can't discern them. It's the aural equivalent to being color blind. Just because we can't tell the diffrence off hand doesn't mean that it isn't there. If the rest of the world had your retarded attitude, there would be only 2 shades of every color; light and dark. Cars wouldn't have their speed measured in KM Or MPH, it would be simply SLOW and FAST.

You can sit there and listen to the aural equivalent of McDonalds for the rest of your
life.

I'd prefer to listen to a 5-star steak any day.

hahaha

our eyes and ears can see and hear a lot more then more then that, but there still is a limit..

it's like an artists painting with ultraviolet colors.. hey that's BEAUTIFUL! wait, it's blank since we can't even see it. wow.

you can't say that the sound affects your brain in any defenet wait since the brain is still a mistery.. besides spending so much money on equipment that produces such accurate sound is useless, since i can bet you you've gone(or will go) to your share of raves/clubs wheere they blast the music so loud that you lose the ability to hear such frequencies anyway...

There have been studies done on the super-frequencies that we can't hear. They stimulate the brain in positive ways and generally people enjoy the music more. You should go to the high-end audio show that happens like every winter. I'll go with you and bring my copy of Roger Waters - Amused to Death and I'll ask Mario from Audio D'Ocasion to play it on a system. It sounds like a diffrent album when listened to properly, as do a lot of other albums. Even Marylin Manson's Smells Like Children album sounds good on a regular system, but on an audiophile system there is so much you don't hear that you realise that your missing like 3/4 of the album because of low-quality gear.

And stuff.
