if the selling point is, that there is a new tweeter, that can go now up to 30 Khz makes me kind'a sceptical. But as always with audio equipment, the ear has to be the judge

Yea, that was my first thought as well. But I don't know shit about speaker design so I don't know what repercussions such a change will have on the frequencies that are within the audible range. I'm not selling my trusty hs80s just yet, that's for sure.
Btw, am I the only one that always cringes when the interviewer in these things clearly doesn't have a clue? It's really painful.
Good thing she likes the anal.

You talkin' to me?
To me it´s harder to hear above 15khz, so 30khz seems pointless and I think, we humans cant hear above 20khz, and most of the time we put filters to cut below 15khz in almost all the shit, so again why 30khz? To make money with something that is kinda useless? Because this tweeters should cost more than the others.

Haha... Of course, they redo the whole line shortly after I bought the hs80ms + sub. Fuck.
The new medium size hs7 looks interesting. 6.5" woofer like often used in car audio.

My speakers go to 50 kHz
That´s nothing mine speaks 3 different languages and does a great capuccino when I needed it.

Sounds interesting but nothing fancy. I like my standard HS's anyway. If you don't see the benefit of having up to 30k, you've never used gear that accentuates it. There's an Avalon comp that has an "air" 30k eq slider. Even through 192's that thing dimed was a noticable difference.

^ my point was, if you dont hear those frequencies how you gonna mix them? Could bit a little hard dont you agree?

That's nothing. My speakers are so accurate, I don't need a screen anymore. I can tell from the sound where my mouse pointer is.

Maybe you're just being facetious, but "air"-type EQs are typically "noticeable" because they also affect frequencies in the range that we CAN hear. For example, the Maag Air EQ has a 40k setting which actually makes the high shelf more gentle and less steep than the 20k setting, which means it actually starts boosting lower frequencies than the lower setting.

There's a debatable aspect of higher frequencies being inaudible but still affecting the audible spectrum as pointed by Rupert Neve years ago... Just saying...
But yeah, probably more of a marketing trick in this case. It doesn't make these better or worse and new isn't always better.
Pretty interested in having the hs-7 as a secondary setup depending on the price though.
