did you carefully measure amplitudes and calculate fundamental component amplitude and match them?
sq wave has 4/pi fundamental - so sine peak amplitude would have to be adusted to that level to match - amplitude differences of 1 dB are readily detected, 0.1 dB matching is the usual requirement for valid abx

jcx said:but people often make the mistake of thinking they can just push the button on their function generator to do the switching - and then they do hear a diff between them
in fact the amplitude of the sine wave fundamental of the tri and sq waves is not simply the peak values of those waveforms
you must correctly adjust the amplitude of the the sine ref in a ab/x test to the value of the fundamental component in the test waveform before going off half cocked and crowing about your >25KHz ultrasonic hearing

I balanced everything with a HP FFT analyser (don't remember the model) and B&K mike.
Ribbon tweeter used was good to over 100k
