What is the difference between two comprable speakers with exception that one has 35-21000Hz and the other has 40-70000Hz?

40 thru 70000hz is some serious frequency responce!!!!
frequency responce is the range of sound it can reproduce from low to high with the numbers working the same. it dosn't mean that it does it well, these speakers msut be co axial or tri to acheive from very low to very high, listen to them and compare price and follow your heart and mind on your choice.

The "normal" range of human hearing is about 20 Hz to about 20,000 Hz. Most humans past age 18 can really only hear from abour 24 to 18,500 Hz. High frequencies like the silly spec of 70,000 Hz are up betond dog hearing and are completely meaningless.

Thanks Zargon and DYohn just thought . So if any one else read this keep in mind what they posted.

Anyone on a tight budget these are good things to keep in mind, some well known speaker mfgrs, may well post things that will make us think that is why we pay a higher price, But at 70000Hz we wont even hear the (cha ching) from where they took us. posted_image
