Post Subject: So, what is about the SOUND of the GOTO drivers?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/17/2008

Yep, Stefano, it looks like we do have similar views about the subjects we touched. Let go back to exploring one of the terra incognito of compression driver – the sound of Goto.

I would insist is that to judge sound of Goto driver from the installations that I have see is worthless thing to do -all Goto installation that I have seen are time-missaligned. To listen a time-misaligned horn installation is like stepping in dog poop while you walk to a job interview or to a first date. So, I would discard my own or some people that I know who use Goto judgmental experience with their drivers. What I would be more interesting is just your subjective feedback about a sound of a single Goto MF drive in regards to a default compression driver. It is how I usually approach compression drivers…. As the “default compression driver”, as I many time said before, I usually place JBL 2440/375 driver. It is all together very popular and very common, well-balanced driver with good characteristics and good sound and I feel it is very convenient to treat the 2440 as common denominator of compression drivers capacity. I usually judge the naked drivers seeing their sweep on axis in 250Hz-330Hz round Tratrix and ~500Hz high-pass filter and just listening the sound of the row driver. If to know what to listen and to know what one would like to hear then in this very simple setting many drivers do show themselves discriminatively…

The reason I ask is because no one talk about the SOUND of Goto drivers, nether the driver owners nor the driver’s salers.   I still hope to hear from someone who has a direct experience with Gotos about the sound of those drivers…
