Some days ago, I re-installed the Goto CF-1 active crossover (fixed x-frequencies: 220/1000/5000 hz) with the full plethora of my amps....I guess Goto's recommendation is to cross at 220hz then... although 300hz seems to sound better. I haven't ...
|
|
The current suggestion from GOTO is to crossover at 200Hz with S150 horn. Of course, you can crossover higher but what are you going to use to cover 220Hz down? If you choose to use the bass horn, you do want to keep it crossover low.&nbs...

Keith,Any chance that I can visit you to hear your system? I will be glad to answer any of your GOTO question.Ming...

Thanks Romy, I'm using a TAD 10" mid in a sealed box to produce 200hz-800hz. Although I'm fairly happy with it, I'm hoping a compression driver/horn would give even better results. There aren't a lot of ready made options for 200-800hz so I chose Got...

[quote user="Kcct82"] There aren't a lot of ready made options for 200-800hz so I chose Goto thinking "oh they are so expensive they must know what they are doing." [/quote]
Yep, there in not a lot of our there in horn universe that care the “primar...

Hey Romy,
Goto makes 12" and 15" woofers at 100db. I recently found out they make a small two way system using an 8" woofer. The 8 incher's range is 55hz-8000hz so I'm thinking it might be a good candidate for use with 60Hz h...

Ming, how are you doing? What I mean: how it your bass horn projects doing? We interacted in November and as I understand your horns is few month old nowadays. As now, your initial euphoria about the Goto bass and Goto horn should be gone and you sho...

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 installa...

I have only heard GOTO drivers one time, and in that system they were time-aligned:http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=7467#7467 The closest I could come to describing the SOUND, when the source was right; (Ch...

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...

I am not completely thrilled with TwoGoodEars new crossover.

First of all , Stephano has a preamp with tube out stage. The guy in his post says that the l...

[quote user="Murataltuev"]Is any
technical background behind the statement that 4" driver can't
operate in 300-1000Hz because resonance is too low ? [/quote]
Well, you need to define what does it mean “can't operate”? Anything can operate anywhere...

hello again Romy, cats, friends...
I built this horn for Ming Su, the Goto USA importer... I have posted on your site before about midbass and bass horns... I listen to eight foot straight 45 Hz horns... and as partial payment on this commission ...

Very nice, Keith, thanks. The most interesting would be to access the “Absolute Tone” capacity of the Gamma. Frankly I feel that with TADs it should not be very too advanced as they are at BMS/TOA domain, only with a little TAD syntactic twist. Even ...
|

So, you are thinking about 3-way installation with GOTO bass, Lowther mid range and some ribbon atop? It is certainly no one knows how I might end up: try it, post the pictures and let know us how it went.
I can see a few points where you might need...

[quote user="MINGSU"]Most users use it for 200Hz down to 10 Hz above the horn cutoff frequency.[/quote]

I think there is nothing that I need to comment – I have done it before many times:

For sure the owner of this system would get much meter result by ...

Hm…m… I do not know how about that.
Well, the SG146XX
where the most interesting from one perspective and the most problematic from
another perspective. Goto, never gave to SG146 an option to moderate resonance
frequency and without it I feel i...

him to unlimit dynamics - in order to achieve the most live-alike sound. First
of all, he noticed that Goto pleases him the most with uncompressed transient

Josh, I am not sure what you want to say. If you looking to name the reason why you like the sound of Gotos then you are guessing as much as anybody else. I can tell you even more. I very confident that the Goto folks themselves are guessing. I do no...

Hi Romy. Sure but its nice figuring out main contributor to specific sounds. Inspiring DIY people to change flavors to their prefs. I dont like the buy or die mindset. I just managed after lot of time & money to get my components to copy the vox ...

Hi Josh,I think it is all a matter of perspective. Personally, I would be very surprised if the key elements of the sound of that system that so impressed you is due to the Goto drivers. There are at least three more important things: that big roo...

I have to admit I have no idea and did not experiment with matching horn loaded tweeter to big ,direct radiating "extended range' MF channel. I'm not sure it's doable. I was speculating on the reasons why the owner of Moscow instalation switched from...
