My tweeters are suppose to be good to 60KHz; WAY beyond my hearing range or anyone else's. Why? Because it is felt by many that what happens outside the audible range affects sounds within it. "Rolled Off" is a pejorative implying that there is insufficient treble to accurately reproduce the music.
some think that when you are hearing multiple instruments and all have high frequency harmonics that the ear is capable of hearing higher than normal and the added response can improve perception of detail etc.
I just butchered that statment but it is as close an explanation as I can remember..
