Can someone explain to me why sony is pushing "extended definition" speakers for sacds? I don't understand why you'd need a speaker to hit 70 khtz when the human ear doesn't hear anything above 25.

You got a link to these so called "extended definition" speakers?

Sony doesn't offer those any longer and when they did it was marketing hype along with some attempt at justifying Sony's harsh/bright sound signature.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

The idea is the break up point of the tweeter is well beyond human hearing is my understanding- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

The practical frequency response potential of SACD technology was/is around 100kHz. Most SACD players these days still have a top end frequency response for SACD playback at 50 to 60 kHz.
Sony produced speakers with an extended frequency range potential for a while because they could and because they wanted to sell SACDs. The technology to go to an extended range with a tweeter had been around for a long long time.
