Thanks Roxy. I've seen a little bit about them here and there as well but it seems like most people haven't even heard OF them let alone actually heard them. It's fun to mess around with rare esoteric stuff but I guess the lack of people to talk to is the price you pay.
Goto Unit
I'm in the process of piecing together a set of four-way speakers with Goto horns for highs, high-mids and low-mids. Thing is though, I've never actually heard Goto drivers before so I'm kind of just going on blind faith that they will be worth the cost and effort once all is said and done.
That being said, does anyone have any experience with Goto Unit drivers? How they sound, things to be aware of, tips and tricks etc.
Also I haven't settled on a sub woofer driver for the set up. If anyone has a recommendation for a woofer that can handle the 400-20hz range on less than 300 watts and will sound good with the Gotos I'd appreciate the advice.

Hey johnk, You’re right, this is kind of a new hobby for me. I think I have a fair idea of how to go about it though. It will be a passive system so for time alignment I was just going to position the horns at the same plane. I was going to have them sit behind the subwoofer driver by about 18". For the subwoofer driver I was considering something by accuton, they have a couple high efficiency options that they say are quick response. Wadaya think? Am I on the right track? |
@audiokinesis Thanks Duke. I'll definitly consider taking John on for help. I probably won't be in a position to start putting everything together for a year or so though. Here's the story, I'm in the US Navy and stationed in Japan. I've been wanting to build my own stereo system for a while I've just been waiting to come across the right components to start with. Over here they have these used stores called "hard-off" that for some reason always have a reasonable ammount of used hi-fi equipment. A couple months ago I went into one near me to see what was new and they had a three way set of Gotos. So I've got those but since I'm basically assembling this thing paycheck-by-paycheck it's going to be a while before I'm ready to start putting things together. |
