Change that few to 15 [kHz] and that would be what some PC-speaker hooking 
SB-clones did. But there were PCs with piezoelectric speakers, and those 
could genereate sounds well above 20kHz. But yes, typically 12-15kHz cutoff 
with 1st or 2nd order filter would do the trick.

And if someone wants full reality one would also need some not-too-strong 
(1st order, 6dB/oct) hi-pass filter around 80-120Hz -- as those tiny 
PC-speakers are unable to emit bass.
