Stefano, welcome to the club, not the GoodSoundClub but the club of understanding of what is going on.

The subject of drivers in Tailored Audio™ is complicated and one of the biggest problems in this complicity is to defeat the attitude of judgment enslaving. The drivers do whatever they do but the really good results come from Working with drivers. Unfortunately most of the people in audio instead of working with driver and navigating the sound of the drivers in the direction they envision do opposite: they based upon the results from the various drivers redefine the definition of reproduction expectations and consequentially they invent different “myths of addiction”. All of it from my view disqualifies most of the people who deal with different drivers to judge drivers more or less objectively. You will see in audio many different groups who swear by one or another driver and feel that their selection of drivers assures some kind of “quietly”. My dealing with many and many of those people testifies that NONE of them have archive interning objectionable sound but rather then all got a random sound  plus a fat layer of self-propaganda preventing them to look critical at own results.

The GOTO ideology I feel is very much in the same wagon. I do not know how good or bad GOTO driver are – I never had them in my own possession. However, if to presume that I know something about sound of horn inhalations then I am very confident that all of the GOTO systems out there (among what I have seen in picture) do not do well sonically. A driver is like a car’s transmission it might be good but in order to demonstrate own advantages the transmission must be imbedded into a car – a mechanism with another zillion engineering decisions. GOTO does not do it. This hors are crap and their ideas of system design are mostly foolish. All of it does not serve the good the GOTO drivers to demonstrate anything good, even if they have something good in them.

This satiation is very much spared among the addictee to any type of drivers: JBL, YL, Altec, Klangfilm, Western Electric, AL, Electro-Voice, GOTO, RCA and many others. So, when those people talk about “sound” from their drivers what that come from them is juts testimonies of loyalties to own clan – very stupid and contra-productive. Try to show up at Altec for instance forum and juts to imply about the specific sonic deficiency of the driver or the driver application that you are intimately are familiar. You will be instantly attacked by an army of angry cronies who feet that you call their child as an ugly child. As many times I ask those people why they behave like idiot not one was able to explain it to me. As many times I have visited those people’s listening rooms and familiarized myself with the actual sonic results they accomplished as many time I have witnessed a huge misbalance between the loudness of loyal screaming and the worth of the actual demonstrable Sound. You might read the following threads where  I was trying to talk about it:

About the DPoLS. The DPoLS is a very far-advanced subject and it clowns the “creme de la crème” of high-end reproduction. Unfortunately very very very very very few systems approach DPoLS (Macondo for instance do not do DPoLS). However, the familiarly of a system designer with DPoLS make a person to think and to practice the things differently. Only this is already a huge benefit, particularly in GOTO case when people do not believe in anything else besides the making of allegedly good drivers.
