Those components certainly have an awful lot of potential and are likely a very good starting point for your highly dynamic system sans Goto.  The Vitavox stuff is even the building board for Macondo so there seems to be more than one way to get good results from them.

If you would like to make a conversion or experiments with Goto drivers then it would be a bit difficult to you in context of the frame you chose to use. The Vitavox drivers that you use have diaphragms in back but Goto have diaphragms in front. It is not hard to pick up some Goto drivers, they show up from time to time at used market and cost no more than anything else but to accommodate the time aliment with them is a bitch. Also, Goto have much narrow bandwidth and MF needs to be split by upper MF and Lower MF. So, all together to try Gotos would require to re-architect the whole system integration. The second is loading. Goto always stay with slow opening exponential horns that are horrible in my view. To load the Gotos in contemporary fast opening horns (Tratrix, Lahorns…) gives looks like better result but to a degree and it provides lower throat resistance and with ultra-light Goto diaphragms it feels the diaphragms are less front-loaded then they should be. The result is overly-fast sound… So, it is very possible that if someone want to experiment with Goto then it should not be in context of any current playback but starting a dedicated test playback specifically made to experiment with Goto drivers.
