Hi Romy,
I agree its a relief to hear finally someone describing something. Because all the mysterious dust around it makes one really curious 
And you cant hear them anywhere.So i got really "tensioned". Finally... and id like to share about it. As you wrote before, the Goto community does not share much. Thats a pitty.
I really wish i couldve written more specific about the tonality of Goto.Because this is probably what people want to know. Where specifically is the small thing they do different.And its funny, that its not so small that you can somehow concentrate on a detail and perceive nor describe it.
The most i was surprised about the dynamics. And that Goto is dynamic.With all the low wattage rating, small compression driver in bass (goto specific), and extraordinary prices ...at least I expected that this means it will sound very "delicate". Delicate like in a restaurant. Small, maybe weak, but very fine.Like a horn alike dynamic, but super non-horny sound, delicate high end audio resolution whatever.And I am very surprised that it is the opposite. That Goto rather sounds very wild and emotional and dynamic, like a PA system.If you have to put the world into a black n white box, then Goto is rather on the PA side than on the Hifi-side.On the hifi side youd have your ribbon tweeter and small polyprop 6" midrange shelf-speaker with rosewood and gold terminal.And Goto is rather on the rough side. Goto even teaches normal PA-drivers like JBL what dynamic means, they go one step further.Still they dont loose themselfs into a "noisy system". They keep balance, nothing disturbes tonal wise.
This is at least how i (surprisingly) perceived Goto: very wild - though not colored, respectively.
And very important how you choose your words - the way of presentation. This is a fine but important difference to "having own sound" which i perceive like coloration Which really wasnt the case.So ill remember that phrase, a very good one!
Ill maybe also share some of Klaus principles he followed for achieving his sound.It wasnt many, but crucial, as he said and happily shared.
