look at music spectrum and notice how it begins to roll off around 11 khz:
reality is everything from ears to microphones to headphones to compression tweeters in DJ Speakers rolls off from about 10 khz as well and this is why people accept this state of affairs ... but to call this "perfect" is laughable.
perfect would go flat to 20+ khz.
RAAL ribbon tweeters ( about $500 each ) go relatively flat to 100 khz. now THAT is perfect. not that an average person would hear the difference. frankly even i wouldn't hear it unless i was specifically listening for it with special program material that consisted of nothing but cymbal crashes recorded at 96 khz sample rate.
and you would also have to sit dead on center in front of the tweeter and not even a few inches above or below its axis.

brilliant design isn't about chasing perfection though. it's about understanding limitations and making appropriate compromises. only a genius with decades of experience can do this.
