Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters?

I have tried super tweeters before and they are a waste of money. If I played music and just listened to the super tweeters there was nothing there

I didn't want so say anything earlier because I have not tried them myself, but I'm not really aware of anyone who has tried them and truly likes them...

I should have also mentioned that I haven't heard them either. My first post was just a best guess and nothing more. Come to think of it, there's a pretty good chance The Cable Company may sell those type of tweeters. If they do, they'll almost certainly have a demo pair to lend out. If you're really interested, its definitely worth a call.

I bought a nice pair of super-tweeters here that play from
20KHz to 40 KHz. Came with a test tone disk. I can hear
up to the 12KHz tone, but nothing any higher. In other
words, I hear nothing coming out of the super-tweeters.
Getting older sucks. ;~(

The question is really more about the amp than the speakers.

The answer is 'yes' its useful to have bandwidth well beyond the traditional 20KHz. This is not because there is any significant information up there, its because wherever the amp has a rolloff, it will cause phase shift issues down to about 1/10th the cutoff frequency.

So if your amp rolls at 20KHz, there will be phase shift components down to about 2KHz. The ear cannot hear phase very well with individual tones, but it does use phase for image location. IOW this is easier to hear- an amp with more bandwidth will have a better soundstage. You don't need the speaker to go to 20KHz to hear this effect.
