Josh, I am not sure what you want to say. If you looking to name the reason why you like the sound of Gotos then you are guessing as much as anybody else. I can tell you even more. I very confident that the Goto folks themselves are guessing. I do not think that exist some kind of proper formulations that would responsible for better compression driver sound. It is were then we would not have so many products that do not sound good. Goto, as any other makers have some self-convinced set of knowhow that they stick with and that looks like give them result that make the brand recognizable. If you, they are or anybody else would name the “secret” that they have then they all will be wrong – there is no secret. What does exits is a very delicate balance of multiple and in some instances accidental parameters that in some case do produce good results. The parameters include the geometry of magnate assembly, the type of magnets, and the type of diaphragms the type of plastic suspension, the type of suspension fiber-reinforcement, the quality of gap aliment, the geometry and execution of exit channels, the type and execution of phase-plug id it was used, etc, etc, etc… There are many other factors and all of them in combination make sound. There is no one who can tell you how it should be. People juts do the things, get some kind or result and all that they do is just label result with a trade name. I am absolutely convinced that there is no one who can actively navigate a compression driver design to a specific requested sound. They all are in way accidents. Still, if you ask me to single out the most prominent characteristic then their plastic suspension projected to the diaphragm damping would be it. BTW, it would be “it” in any other compression driver....Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
