Aha - here is the "missing" AnalogSteph. Sorry, I apologize - I have been too short a time on ASR to remember all the names.What leads you to believe that this has anything to do with ultrasonics though? There are about a million issues coming in before we even get to this point - trying to capture an uneven radiation pattern with microphones and then squeezing everything into two channels to be played back by two speakers placed in front of the listener poses a great number of challenges and is by no means lossless, not to mention dependent on playback system quality to boot. Seems you are worrying about a fly while ignoring the elephant in the room.
What has led me to this belief are analogue records and their playback. The playback equipment can have a humongous effect on the sound ultimately obtainable. There was not a single case where a narrower bandwidth device with equal/similar other characteristics of a more broadband competitor came on top - in over 40 years.
What leads me to this belief is the experience of doing recordings - mostly live. And what leads me to believe this even more is doing live binaural recordings - which is the most close approach to recording to be listened by humans. You are not going to hear anything closer to live than good binaural recording - and the more extended the response of the recording, the more realistic the acoustics of the venue are depicted.
