Post Subject: The Goto confusion indeed.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 2/24/2008

Thanks, Be, for a correction but the fun part is no one acknowledged your blander. The Goto drivers I think are exotic terra incognito for most people and I think it is how Goto Company is willing to keep it. No one talk about nuts and bolt of Goto compressions driver, trying to convince the parties of interest in Goto’s alleged design advancement. Not one talks about Sound from Goto drivers. I wonder what ideas Goto-Company and Goto-resellers have that would make their driver more popular than they are now. The only exposure that I see from Goto is adolescently-designed installation with system owners too full of themselves to even to cognitively recognize what Sound they are getting out of own playback.

I think if Goto is willing to go somewhere and if Mulg is willing to sale that 56 feet boat on Lake Erie bought for the money of Goto distribution, then those Goto people need to talk a little about themselves and about own products. Avantgarde could press zillion of their horn but the Avantgarde business started what AG’s US distributor opened his month (and Avantgarde ended what he shut up). Ming site should have a lot of context and the site should be interactive. The site should have a lot is service information about horns, frames, crossovers, success stories. Goto should be presented as an equitable competitor to JBL and TAD and the results that Goto demonstrate should be convincing to use them. Goto shells try to sell their driver as EOM to other horn manufactures…  I can go on and on but Goto is not there.

The price for Goto drivers in Japanese catalos is reasonable. The “street price” in Japan is even 30-50% lower. The US prices are in tense thousands that clearly indicate that there is a room for investment into the drivers’ publicity. Perhaps a situation what Goto sell 10 drivers per year is something that Goto feels comfortable but I feel different. My feeling is that until Goto will not be widely available and widely used by more or less civilized users then Goto (as a company) will not learn how to make better drivers. Ming is a new US distributor and let see where he we take Goto. There are some distributors who juts move boxes and there those who do active product development. The time will show where Goto will lend in the hierarchy of horns opportunities.
