Jorge, if you have 120hz horn with a 4" throat and 10" driver then Fane 8M would be a good candidate in my view. If I were you then I would try. The SG146LG is you had would be very interesting to try as well. Not to try it stupidly as most of Goto owners do but to make both Fane 8M and Goto to work identically-optimal for their respected topology. Then to see the difference. Honestly I do not know what result would be. Goto is a compression driver it has to be way more superior then Fane in all dimensions. Fane in the way how I use it is a compression driver as well but it has paper cone. My vote goes for Goto’s metal diaphragm – it got to have more transient response then paper with fabric suspension. However, Goto has very light cone for those frequencies and very limited power handling. So there are some issuers from Goto side. If I had something like SG146LG then I would try it but not right the way. In fact, considering the efforts it will take I wouls rather do not try the SG146LG but to have some kind of person who has a lot of Goto experience come to my house, listen my upperbass horn with my Fane 8M driver, pint out the specific sonic problems that he recognize and then inform me how Goto would address them. I do it with others, why no one does it with me?
Partially why I dive difficult time to those Fane buyers is because I do not want people buy Fane 8M for upperbass horns. I know Fane 8M, I has been using it for 11 years and if somebody us my bitten path then I have no opportunely to discovers something new. I would like somebody to discover another driver, better then Fane 8M and informed me another driver did better than Fane in the similar application. In fact I had one person who did reported it but he was an idiot and what I call that type “Sperm Vampire”…
Anyhow, If I were you I would get one pair of Fane 8M. If you are in horn world then a driver with 103dB sensitivity with 115Hz capacity is right in your alley. In the end here is the picture of the perfect horn with Fane driver in it:
