If you look behind the physical time alignment and start discussion about relative time alignment, that is a good start.  …How will you know they are not already in relative time-aligned even most of them are not shown as physical time-aligned. ….If one has the space and room and want to do the so call physical time alignment, they should do it but if limited by space, they should not stuck on this physical time alignment issue.  They should try to use relative time alignment for setup.

I am sorry, what does it mean: physical time alignment vs. relative time alignment? Again, Ming, you do great disservice to your hypothetic customers by stressing the faulty notion of “having space“ or not “having space“ for MF drivers. (Let leave the LF driver alone as it is more complicated subject). If person has no space for time for time-alignment of horns then nether horn nor compressions drivers must not be even considered and the person shall stick with direct radiators or to whatever. I would not even mention that all fear of “not having space” is greatly and absolutely artificially blown up by your own comments. Any, let me say it again: ANY MF/HF horns not time-aligned are sound wrong, regardless of the horn topology and drivers used. It has nothing to do with “having space“but with critically of GOTO users and the ability to know better.

About the quote of GOTO's view on the electronic, it is an interesting topic.  It is really a chicken and egg question.  W/o a good speaker system, how will one evaluate electronic gear?  Same, w/o good electronic how will one evaluate speaker system?  To solve this question, GOTO design their own preamp, amp and active crossover to address this need.  I will not claim that GOTO electronic is the best but they are not shy to compete with top of line commercial gears.

The chicken and egg example is absolutely not applicable in my view to this case. I did not know that GOTO design their own preamp, amp and active crossovers but who he here what to have it from a company that does not “believe” that electronics maters. It is like the Dr. Earl Geddes who make absolutely idiotic statements that all CD sound the same, all sources sound the same, all amplifiers sound the same – the only that makes deference in sound is his little funny mini-monitor vs. any other speaker in the word.  Well, Mr. Geddes has his right to believe in what he wants to believe but would you care to ask Earl Geddes to design an amp for you?
