Okay, so now I see these "JBL L890 4 Way Dual 8" Floor Standing Speakers" on Frys... I'm perplexed why there are two different kinds of tweeters. Does JBL actually split the high end on these? So an additional crossover then? (At some critical frequency?!) Is this gilding the lily, or something better or worse? My inclination is to be leery, but maybe there's something I don't know...

oh sorry, just went to JBL's site and found: "Crossover Frequencies 700Hz, 5kHz, 20kHz" and "Ultrahigh-Frequency Driver / High-Frequency Transducer". So they do. How much human hearing / musical information is there at and above 20K?

Then I found this, and was thinking it's about the most beautiful speaker I ever saw (esp with the grille ON) and then I looked up the price :-(

Mike,

Hearing aids have advanced dramatically, over the years. Hearing devices are now capable of reproducing frequencies that only dogs can hear. The RCA dog would certainly appreciate the reponse of these speakers. ;)
BTW, those are impressive looking...should be for the $$$$$
