I found this interesting. On my work pc speakers I go from 100 hz to 17khz.
I'll try it on my genelecs when I get back to the studio and see if I can find any more range.

The big thing to check rather than absolute top end would be to see if the tone sounds quieter around the 4k and 5k region.

I'll check it again, but I'm sure I had to turn it down about then cause it started hurting.

It really does depend on how loud your listening, after 17khz I had to turn the volume up to hear 19khz, 20khz cranked full I could not hear in my room with the computer and heater running. Even in any room it would probably be subliminal to me unless cranking out at some pretty high spl.
I Listened through the Rosetta 200 and Event monitors.

Yep, probably 1 of the first things an audio student should learn.
