I already switched my priorities a view times. From tonality, then resolution, to latest color (VO) but now i see its the dynamics being the core of enjoying music with your heart.
Well, I very much assure you that what you call “dynamics” is not the very last stop in a man priorities. The dynamics to great degree derives from magnetic force projected to moving mass. Goto operates at the top limit of magnetic force the very much as a few other drivers. You can’t magnetize the gap more than 2.4T and it very much might be done by very moderate size of magnets. Some VC assembly, diaphragms and the most important the diaphragms suspension make all difference. TAD has the same 2.4T in gap but the code and the suspicion that make it sound like the driver submerged in silicone lubricant. Goto looks like have it under control, good for them. Anyhow, having just “dynamics”, at least as you understand it now, is a bit barbaric way to demand from audio. The greatest dynamics is wonderful but it should be projected very clever to harmonic slowness in sound. This is very delicate balance and I have seen a lot of audio people who slipped in this endeavor. You can get “great dynamics” by using overly-idle OPT, OTL amps, overly magnetized filed-coils and by a few other things but if all needs to be properly balanced with some dynamic release, some sort of “slowness” that need to be very delicately factor into the sound. Listen live sound, you have no resolution or dynamics… 
 
I do not claim that with Goto dynamics it is impossible to normal sound and do not get that typical for Goto Wagner-style elevated speech. I think it is pososble. If I employed Goto it would be the main fight for me. I do not know how other people, including your Klaus dealt with it. If you want to educate yourself how typically people deal with Goto Dynamics then I do encourage you read at Russian site a long thread of the guy from Moscow. It is superbly educational and I reads like a history of disease and the most spectacular of all that each stage of his meatls audio illness is very good illustrated with audio clips of his sound.  A few year ago he bought all possible compression drivers, including a pile of Gotos and brainlessly put random drivers in random horns, record at his phone the sound he got. He has bad taste, bad hands, methodologically disturbed and has a lot of other problems and I do encourage you to listen the sound that he demonstrates at his clips. This is very typical sound from ignorant people with magnetically overcharged drivers. Your infatuation with dynamics and resolution might very much lead to it.
