Ok, here's my problem.
If human hearing occurs between 20 and 20 KhZ, than why do preamps boast ridiculous stuff like a frequency response of 1hZ-1000KhZ. Does it really matter? Wussup wit dat?

harmonics add colouration to your recording, and, although you technically cant hear them, they will add depth to your recording.

most speakers cant even play above 20khz, so whats the point of putting sound that high?
