Well, most audio components such as amplifiers and speakers promise
*flat* response from 20-20k, so those figures don't really
represent an absolute cutoff point....frequencies above 20kHz would
be reproduced in some measure, just not at equal amplitudes. 

Having said that, I'm not necessarily proclaiming Rupert Neve's claims to
be true, rather worth considering.

Thanks for the good thoughts
