Goto SG 146 LD

 

 An extract from a Reinhard's essay, passionately written years ago and which so much inspired me:

"For me the most important thing was the Goto SG146LD.

Klaus started with a straight 10 leafs 40 cycle horn in 1983.

… and it was simply awesome. SG146LD is the only compression bass driver which does not produce boom-boom if fed right. 

The SG146LD contrarily is on first impression not to be heard as bass, first you think, hey it is wrong, it is not connected, but then you realize, what they are doing, they integrate completely homogeneously into the sound, totally natural, like a royal soufflé, no more "cuts" between bass and mid-range (especially in the voices), just "one" sound. Marvelous. Really marvelous! They produce the right pressure @ 113 db/watt/m... you can put some 35 watts in there... and you get volume like on stage... and nothing disturbing...

Perhaps one has to get used to that sound a little at first, because it is so "unspectacular" without boom-boom, but then there is no way back... nearly exactly the same is with their membrane basses...

… but, please keep in mind, we are exploring new territory ... nobody was able to advise us so far... and we are still learning... deeply learning...the adjustment of all those horns is not yet finished... and now comes the next big revolution: high resolution digital stream..."

Enough for me, as I can confirm all and every word, as I heard all the above and more… also if I’m still not liking enough that “high resolution digital streaming “ quoted above… my fault, as I love so much handling my discs and tapes 😏
