For us old dudes 20kHz bandwidth is more than enough:) 16k for n most cases .
Last time i checked an audiophiles whas not a teenage girl musical prodigy :) they may actually hear 20k. I think the 20-20kHz bw includes most humans it would be truly exceptional very rare . And only applicable to teenagers, the hf hearing drops fast in humans even if do have otherwise good hearing . I have dbt myself re hirez i cant hear any difference. I did take care to only use new digitally made masters that originated as a true hirez recording. The key is to downsample it yourself the CD master and the hidef master is often not the same . If someone buys a hirez file set and it sounds better its usually a better master :) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
