The 37 is 20 year old model and it is not in production anymore.  The current production model for export market are 370(110dB), 370DX(113dB), 3880S(116dB).
The driver spec. is 400Hz to 18kHz but the recommended crossover range is 1kHz-5kHz with S600 horn or 1kHz - 6kHz with S800 horn. 
  Ming, thanks.

Might I ask you: besides the fact that 37 are not longer in production anymore, are any other design attributes that you can name the make 37 different from 370? Well, I understand a few out of more magnet part – Altec did the same with 806 and 808 drivers (those that have no more than 5% price different if the 808 do not use symphonic cones). So, is anything besides of that? Are they use the same cones? Do you know any sonic differences, if any, between 37 and 370? GOTO said that 37FRP designed for mid-high ranges in a smaller system. However, the smaller system imps less driver and each of the driver meant to be used in wider range – so the 37FRP shall be more universal driver then the narrow-bandwidth meant to be use later drivers, am I right?

Also, my interest in 37FRP was pretty much because it is no current production. It is a driver from 70s, so it is not “ 20 year old” but thanks got 40 years old. You see, 40 years in a history of a Hi-Fi company is 2-3 generations. What Goto was found in 60 I believe I very much doubt that Mr. Goto was 20 year old man and I am very certain the he is not around anymore, at least he is not involve in production. I know very little about the Goto company but I know a LAT about AMNY other Hi-Fi companies and I know that practically all of them years ago made better products. In fact I am an author of a very elegant theory according to which any Hi-Fi company within 4 year is get converted into shit by the industry influence,  butt is another subject.

So, if to accept a premise that that all Hi-Fi companies soon of later produce shit then why do you feel Goto Company does not expose to this tendency. Frankly, my interests in 37FRP were exactly because it is 40 year old driver. So amt is your objections to the 40 year old Goto design of sound?

Yes.  GOTO design and produce their driver to reproduce "accurate" sound.  Do not want to add any "driver" sound to the music. 
   Well, first of all, whatever Goto, or any other drivers do has absolutely nothing to do with music, let keep this phraseology out of my site and preserve it for Stereophile level, at least do not use it with me as it sound to ridicules. Second, the "accurate" sound itself is not an inspiration itself – there are many other things that shall be taken under consideration. The Cat
