Regarding supertweeters


hello!
in my ears theres no doubt the supertweeters are worth the money(from what ive heard in some systems). but,- theyre supposed to take over for the standard tweeter where it cant go higher. what if the cd player and amplifier cant produce the over 20000hrtz "normal" range? ive only seen some cd players do this, where it says from 15-100000hrtz or so. my cd player and amp says 20-20000. does that mean a supertweeter will not do any good in my system?

thank u! a little more clear on this now. Gregm, if the supertweeter helps the standard tweeter from as u say 13kHz or so,- will it not be very difficult to calibrate the two tweeters to eachother so the frequenses dont "crash"? maybe a stupid question, i dont know much about it. also, the Tannoy s.tweeters can be set to where they are supposed to "take over". from what i understood u are supposed to set them exactly where the standard cant follow anymore, but of course..u can set it to boost the standard as u say. but - as i understand u guys, if i dont get a cd player that can play above 20000, and do not have an amp. playing above 20000, theres no need for a supertweeter. other than helping out in the standard 20-20000 with ordinary cd's. lack of either that special cd player or amp. will also ruin the point..
also.. the reading on the back of most amps and cd players that say 20-20000.. isnt that meant just to say that either the cdp. or amp. give strong signals in 20-20K? it doesnt mean nothing under or above those figures are let through?
heh.. am i being difficult?
