20K is not necessary in sound reinforcement. Even if produced it will be
swamped by drummers cymbals and guitar wails. Playing solo is a different
story. It will add 'air', sense of openness.

Now we are getting somewhere...

In my post on Jan.1 ( ....there is room for improvement) I commented that
if anything, we need to look at some of the speakers we have been using on
clones AND digital pianos.

So I am in total agreement with Steve Hayes - the crossover points and high
frequency drivers used to amplify our instruments are generally not ideal
for what we are trying to achieve.

Why is it that guitar amps seems to be able to reproduce plenty of highs
from a single driver ? Do we really need to be able to achieve 20K in the
high frequency area?

My Yamaha Nocturne piano at home uses two 4''X6" speakers and a subwoofer.
There are no horns. It produces a very smooth response.... this is probably
due to the fact that it is bi amped . Some of the other Yamaha home pianos
use 6'' drivers and get most of the frequencies needed to replicate a
grand piano though the low end often suffers.

I am curious how others have dealt with this issue....
