I think Peter Walker had it right on this point as well. He said "a speaker is good or bad long before it has got to 10kHz". Factors such as coloration and overhang/resonance are of greater importance than the last octave. I must agree with Paul that some of the old Wharfedales still sound remarkably good - I lived quite happily with a pair of Bush Denton equivalents until I bought my LS3/5as, and the pair of Dentons I bought for a tenner a couple of years ago sound very pleasant. Bang for the buck, indeed.
