I do not know if it was because economy, because the Japanese events early on this year or because any other reasons but there is a lot of Goto drivers for the last couple months on used market. The prices go down and it looks like nowadays the Goto MF drivers are in the same pries range with good JBL drivers – how it shall be. So, if somebody would like to experiment with Goto drivers then I think nowadays is a good time to grab some of them out there.

I have an interest to try them but my interest is not high enough to commit myself to the experiments. I have the same attitude with toward to new GIP, or some older RCA or Klangfilm drivers - it might be an interesting parley but I have no specific itch or acute needs to go there. Still, if somebody is interested in the Gotos then inform you that there are plenty of them nowadays are flying around.

I just got an email from a site visitor that there is a pair of one year old GOTO 146 woofers floating in Japanese Yahoo.

The price is $8.5K whoever would like to try them be my guest.  I do have a long-term objective to try them sometime but to accommodate my horns to use them will be a huge pain in ass. I also have no idea how to moderate resonance frequency in those drivers and the people who make/sell then have no idea what resonance frequency is. So, I guess until somebody demonstrates me an interesting bass from those Goto compression drivers I will be sitting on a fence. If anyone would like to bite this Goto deal then let me know about the result and the most important – the application it was used in as I envision no application for them.
