There are many complaints about FM radio sound quality.
But complaints about output above 15kHz. seem rare.When listening to typical Western music on FM radio, it seems that the
tiny amount of sound energy above 15Hz., assuming there is any,
can be eliminated and few people, if any, complain about its absense.It seems to me that the people in the test said they preferred the music with content above 20kHz. WITHOUT ever proving they could hear a difference the two samples. A blind preference selection without the needed audibility test, is a typical high-end audio "blind test" (but not really a test at all).
There is also a possible question about how the energy above 20kHz was stripped from the music, and whether doing so created an audible artifact.
