My definition of “Japanese sound” is different than yours and I do not feel that Japanese sound is characterized by “tilted up high frequencies character”.

I think if you are accustom to “tilted up high frequencies character” from Japanese products the then it is an indication to me that you use driver with too high magnetic force in gap, that from my point of view the new  GOTO are most likely might be. It makes too fast harmonic roll out of notes to their pitches and makes the sound to have “tilted up high frequencies character”. This begs is VERY simple to model with electromagnet driver – I did it many times. Juts for sake of experiment you might want to complicate it a bit by loading the output stages of your amps twice harder. You might do it is “quick and dirty way” by shorting your GOTO drivers with 16R-8R resistor and it will give you an indication if the direction is right.

Anyhow, thanks for your toughs sharing about GOTO.  I will give a ride to the SG-37FRP when is become available to me and will see how it goes. Frankly my primary interests are not GOTO but the midbass ALE compression drivers; however SG-37FRP might be a good parley to look into what those “exotic” Japanese drivers are all about.
