You're forgetting that most speakers in a somewhat normal price range cap out at around 18 - 18.5 kHz.

Even if a manufacturer says they can go higher, it's often not feasible because the tone is going to be too soft to hear at normal listening distances. So... even while they maybe, possibly can do it, you need very expensive speakers to actually hear it.

As I said, the very highest audio qualities are only useful for people who have both golden ears, and golden equipment. I have silver ears, and bronze equipment with silver lining, so... not good enough. I'm sticking to 16/44.1.
