1) Most good-quality stereos give up the ghost somewhere around 20khz. 
   I'd be surprised if the monitor on your speaker could make it
   past 10khz.
2) Most adult's ears give up around 17-18khz (for someone with VERY good
   hearing). If you cannot hear the 15khz whistle that your monitor
   is giving off this very second.....

Sorry, but I think this is a non-problem.
