Has anyone bothered to find out if the original source material has frequency
components above 20 KHz?  I'm talking about the original performance here, not
your old audiofile disks or tapes.  If the best electronics and speaker
technology can't produce hypersonic frequencies, then somehow I doubt that a
300 year old violin can.  Who cares if one can tell the difference between a
20 KHz square wave and a 20 KHz sine wave if the highest frequency component in
a live performance is 15 KHz (sine wave)?  I sure don't.
