Can't agree with much of that - none of my FR units are rated at less than 20K at the top end...
That's as maybe, but at HF, the sound will beam like ****.
The polar response plot will have a very narrow lobe at
zero degrees from the axis. To get decent treble, you're gonna
need to aim the axis at your ears with a red laser dot! Off axis, you're
not gonna get a decent response at many frequencies. At some positions,
at some frequencies, you'll get some kinda decent response, but at other
frequencies at the same position, you'll get a terrible response.
Tweeters are small partly to reduce this problem. Partly.
Still, if the sound suits you.... I'm a treble fiend myself, though.
