GOTO always recommend to use 1st order active crossover and 2nd order passive crossover. The reason to use 2nd order for passive crossover is to protect the driver. Of course, the user can use whatever they like the best but the recommendation from GOTO is as above. FYI - GOTO driver spec. for input is Max. 5W.

Hm, interesting. A few years ago I spoke with a guy who posed himself as heavy GOTO/ALE user and he informed me that GOTO/ALE insist to use only 4th order crossovers with their drivers. Then I read the same in few other sources including their justification why they want 4th order. I always was laughing with their high-order crossovers logic, in fact their demands for 4th order was one of the reasons why I never tried GOTO/ALE 7-8 years back when I actively experimented with compression drivers – I just never thought that people so dumb and deaf up to the point that they can’t understand high-order crossover’s problems are tuned-enough to make good divers. Perhaps they changed their views and their ways during those years… The 5W power handling is good though…
