And you don't consider local room absorption as well as having a extremely steady way of holding your head at exactly the same place.
One piece of additional furniture, curtains, open area and it's bye bye similar absorption.
In general local absorption above roughly 8kHz is rather high relatively speaking.
It's not difficult to do - https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...-design-the-easy-way-ath4.338806/post-7728126
That's around 90°. For wider a suitable dome would be needed: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...4a-waveguide-and-purifi-6-5-aluminium.413697/
Purifi, for a commercial example, is also working on such design: https://purifi-audio.com/blog/tech-notes-1/spk16-reference-design-12

Because as soon as you turn your head, anything above 10kHz just is gone basically.
If some people here are able to hear does frequencies to begin with.
Well unless you're headless, but that would mean you also don't have ears.
In that case it's a non-discussion to begin with.
I'm just trying to figure out the mechanism. How can be anything above 10kHz gone if I move my head?
Well okay, maybe I shouldn't have written it as such a sarcastic joke.
What it means is that the response changes as soon as you move your head.
Because frequencies that high are quite directional to begin, as well as the absorption from your head as well as how the left and right ear interact.
Phase/delay differences etc.
It's the same way why we can hear directionality.
Again, this is far more complex and this far to simplified, but just to give a quick simple summary.

Yes, to those with good hearing.
So a quick question how did we go from likely unknown to "those with good hearing"?
Rob 🙂
To me "unknown" is anything that hasn't been proven on a scientific basis. There's simply no evidence, just feelings and vague opinions, including mine.
- I believe it does make an audible difference to those able to hear it 🙂 (And it will likely have something to do with imaging.)

It doesn't have to increase and nobody really knows yet what it does or not if it doesn't increase.
Well in the case of human hearing, there are tons and tons of scientific literature about that subject, incl frequency absorption and changes
So no opinions and beliefs there
Based on that it wouldn't make sense to make tweeters able to reach 10 kHz...
Call it evidence-based high fidelity 🙂

OK all I am saying is that it typically does and it is a compromise I am willing to live with in a CD design. A gradual increase in DI last octave.
