I kind of got stuck in selecting an upper midrange driver, above 2kHz. If a driver is going to screech in your ears it is going to be in these frequencies. I was never really satisfied with the range of 1" compression drivers I tried. That is wha...

I got GOTO drivers to see how they are going to work in 46Hz horn!This is just luck, as I never expected to find them in Russia, but I did!They are in mint condition, used very little, bought 8 years ago directly from GOTO factory.I have 4pcs - 2 per...

This is my current 4-way GOTO setup. I know it is in no way optimal but I am interested to find ways I can improve it's layout.

It is 4” exit and reportedly goes down to 27Hz. I do not know what a lot about this diver but it might be a good driver for 40Hz horn. 4” into 40hz? God, it has to be at least 16 feet long horn! I would take my head off to somebody who goes for it. A...

I would like to pass my observation about the whole notion of
Goto vs S2. Some might feel that that my observations would be less relevant as
I personally did not experiment with Goto drivers. So, there is no reason for
you to read further. I head...

[quote user="MINGSU"] I finally received the GOTO SG38WNS 15" woofer and GOTO SG188S tweeter this week. My next step is to build a dual driver bass cabinet to cover 70Hz down. [/quote] Ming, I know nothing about the Goto woofer. Would you care to sha...

The SG505TT driver can be used with S150 and S200 horn. The crossover frequency suggested by GOTO for each horn is as follow:S150 - 200Hz and S200 - 270Hz. Of course, one can use the single SG505TT driver to pair up wit...

I had a SG370 mid apart only yesterday.I should have taken a photograph.I have also seen the inside of the tweeter.They are very similar,so I have no reason to suppose the low mid SG 505 will be much different.I'll try to explain.I think they a...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

Romy,
I am off to Taiwan tomorrow but will ask the question by email. I have not heard that kind of custom diaphragm ever available from GOTO on SG146LD4 driver. I know the 15" woofer can be request with different stiffness of the cone.&...

Hello again, Romy...
I totally agree with you about changing the rear chamber volume. It makes a very positive improvement in extension as well as quality. Also, I had never dreamed of a driver with a variable compliance resulting in a variable...

I've had a pair of PM4 and GOTO SG30W sitting by cupboard for several years now and instead of just watchinng the foam rot on the Lowthers, I was thinking of slapping the lot into a sealed box for fun. The PM4 would have it's own chamber of course.&n...

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 installa...

Keith,
I do not see any “O, shit!” effect. You went for 505TT/S150 combination and it is fine. Why after reading my comments you developed doubts? It looks to me that if you do have doubts then you did not have enough rational to select this s...

Ok; there's a mis-print somewhere, or a manufacturing change... The web site linked listed SG-370 as 23,000 gauss, and SG-370DX as 24,000 gauss. The goto brochure lists SG-370 as 24,000 gauss. And was discussed yesterday w/ someone, one doesn't re...
