it sure is a cliche, but "studies have indicated" that humans can sense a difference between sine and square waves at upwards of 100kHz, and there are mixer and amplifier manufacturers who design equipment to be flat from 20-200kHz. some say they should start extending the top end to 320kHz in order to cover 4 whole octaves above 20kHz. no doubt, when an 8 channel mixer in this class goes for about $4000 used, that it's not for everybody. eric p.s. hopefully this won't devolve into a "pro/con: odd-order harmonics make people agitated and angry" flamewar like last time. onnow: dropshadow disease (rather interesting)
